Also... when you snap the electrical connector back into the coil pack.. its easy for it to get miss aligned. Check out this video by Cobb...

I'm using BMW bosch OEM plugs.

I re-gauged all new spark plugs to 0.02".
Still misfires in cylinder 1.
Thinking its faulty plug/coil in cylinder 1, I replaced the new ones with old ones. Misfire is still only in cylinder 1. Also I can smell gas on the tips of the coil (both in case of new and old spark plug/coil combo).

What should I try next?
