I know it's sounds odd, with out insult, I'm ASE certified & ASE advanced BMW mechanic... I tried to get to the bottom of an odd mis-fire, (one cylinder #3) with everything workin/tested.. after I solved the vacuum leak n blocked EGR it stopped, hasnt done it in over a yr. thr will always be anomalys that logical thinking will never solve..
