Anyone Experience this engine code error?

P1351 - Cylinder 5 misfire & fuel cut off

2001 330i 185k

Car had been hesitating for a while under heavy acceleration. Punched the gas yesterday and felt like it was going to stall out followed by the engine code and a long slow ride to the house...

Searched some forums and figured it was the coil/spark plug on Cyl 5. Picked up parts from Autozone & changed last night. Ran great in a test drive but Code is still there.

Coil was leaky when replaced and plug was black... fyi

Will clear code and report back if this has resolved the issue.

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
You should move a suspected bad coil to a different cylinder to see of the problem moves with it. It tells you something if a misfire remains on the original cyllinder or follows a coil from one place to another.

My 325I began having issues with these Ignition codes P1351, P1352 etc. at 140K and within six month I replaced 3 of them due to missfire and rough idle. I just finished changing out the last 3 since they will eventually go bad sooner or later. Got it down to 20 minutes per swap out.
