My 01 330 with 170K miles just did the same thing - read the codes with my "peake" scanner as it gives you the correct table to undertand the codes. Said I had a misfire on cyl #2 and then coil #2 problem. So I'm guessing it's a problem with the coil. I watched the video in this post and tried what the mech did - only issue is my car now runs fine. Must be a bad coil that is coming and going...

So, where does one get coil's for these that match the Bosch I have (oem) - WITHOUT replacing all of them. I'd like not to spend 300+ on 6 new coils and I read somewhere that it is recommended to replace all of them with the same brand as they may have different resistances... not sure about that, but I guess...

Everywhere I look, it says OEM is Bremi - but mine are Bosch???
