Do I have a ghost in my car?

Hi everyone, My 2008 335xi starts misfiring and bugs down a little after the car has been driven for about 20 mins. It goes away if I pull over and restart the car, then it drives well. No Vanos or HPFP error codes. I got new spark plugs and index 9 injectors. Other than an OCC, the car is 100% stock.
- Any ideas?

Thank you

Sounds like coils indeed.

Thank you Guys.
I will be getting a new set from FCP Euro. -I currently have Bosch Coils, is there any performance difference between Delphi and Bosch? They cost same.

Thank you,

Bosch was replaced by delphi.. I would go delphi but performance wise they will all be the same as long as they work.. I went with Eldor which may be something to look into.

Thank you to ALL for your help. As always, you guys are great sharing what you know. - My nephew just got me a set of Delphis as gift.
- He said that is part of his payment for all the tools he loans from me and for the ones he has destroyed or lost.

- Thank you
