every plug and coil was done to completion one at a time

If you did them one at a time, each coil before starting on the next, that cannot be your problem.

Have you tried pulling them out and putting them back in?

Yup... now I am confused... did you check for codes?

those codes i posted i read from OBD2 reader from advanced auto, i am going to redo the whole thing again tomorrow. my friend who is a mechanic suggested making sure i have them torqued correctly. I torqued them to 20 ft-lbs however he is saying BMW says it is 23 N-m which is roughly 17 ft-lbs.

and if that doesnt work, looks like its getting towed to BMW in College Station which isnt my first choice since i know when they read misfire they are just going to change the coil packs which defeats the purpose of doing it yourself and saving money and wasting the money i spent on the coil packs already as well

Its a stretch, but when you installed the new spark plugs did you verify they were gapped properly? The gap is the space between the actual plug and the electrode - or in other words where the electricty arcs across. If the space is too far it may cause the problem you are having.

Pull each connection apart one at a time and verify the connectors are not broken, remember there should be a metal to metal connection for the current to pass through.

Another thing you can try is reinstalling the old coil packs, this will rule out the possibility of you having new ones that are bad.

tried everything, and stil no luck. so car has been towed to dealership. try to save a dollar, end up spending 2. :cry:

let us know what comes of this... the dealer kinda has you by the balls now. hopefully they'll be cool.

UPDATE: The coil packs and spark plugs were not the issue. The dealership says they replaced them with another new set of plugs and coils and the car is still having the issue. They said they have no idea whats wrong and that they were going to try diagnose the problem.

UPDATE: Had to do some re-programming to the computer. Now I am currently out of town for work and I dont necessarily understand what all was needed but I plan on finding out...
