DSC light coming on

At idle when warmed up with foot on brake DSC and SES light come on engine runs ruff then clears up. OBD reader reads misfire on #4 cylinder code two times. Have replaced plugs wires and ignition coil. Any thoughts. Thanks

Are you using toptier gasoline? http://toptiergas.com/

BMW claims the most common reason for misfires is low grade gas. What brand and octane rating are you using? When is the last time you added a BMW or TECHRON fuel additive to a tank?

Normaly run 87 did not know about additive. Why does it only do it when brakes are applied at idle.
