Spark plug OEM BMW or OEM Audi
The tools aren’t expensive. Yes I use dielectric grease but not anti sieze on the threads (only because BMW orders us not to). Easy job for most cars.
Pros: tools aren't expensive, easy job
Cons: BMW orders not to use anti-seize

ive been using the RS7 spark plugs(Gapped properly) and swap every 10k miles, but nowadays I do not run very hard, just cruise and occasional hard accelerations. Paired with APR coil packs, havent had any issues.
Pros: no issues
Vehicle:
Audi RS7

use BMW OEM plugs from the dealer. Yes the are expensive but I have never had a problem with misfires and I've put over 100,000 miles on my current E36 and over 150,000 on my first. While they are suppose to work and be interchangeable according to the manufacturer the NKG you buy aftermarket are supposedly different than what you get from BMW
Pros: no misfires, high mileage reliability
Cons: expensive
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 160934 km
120k miles on my 2015 a3 with a stage 1 tune. I did timing belt, tensioner, and water pump around 100k miles. Costed me like $1k. Also did spark plugs and a new battery, which was another $600.
Vehicle:
Audi A3
Mileage: 120000 km
I just completed my first spark plug change on my G20 330 at 40k miles. Three of them especially Cylinder 1 came out "wet" and I'm unsure if it's oil.
Cons: wet spark plugs
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 64373 km
If you are willing to put some money into it before resorting to drastic measures, try replacing all 6 of your spark plugs and ignition coils. Might help in your case, or it might not.
