2011 135i Plugs and Coils

My car has been misfiring now, so it's time to swap out the coils and plugs. I got the plugs and set to go but what type of coils should I get? I see alot of "off brand" ones but not sure which ones are ok to run.

Anyone know how the Spectra C-694 Ignition Coils are? around 20 bucks a piece. Sounds too good to be true but I wanted to give it a shot.

So you would recommend the Delphi's over the OEM Bosch units? I'll be doing the coils and plugs on our 1'er in the next few weeks.
