3) Cracked/leaky wires. Open the hood at night and visually inspect the entire length of each wire while someone guns the engine a bit to try and induce sparking. If you see little sparks jumping around any of the wires, replace them.

+1 cause your a moron...coil on plug=no plug wires= not possible to "mis-wire" them)...at that many miles id doubt youd have a cracked coil boot..though i have seen adaptations cause issues with new injectors/plugs before on some e46's so i suppose it could cause it on the n52 as well. make sure the coils are pushed down properly.
