Spark Plugs

I recently had my sparkplugs replaced by my tuning shop and they used OEM plugs on my '04 E55. Unfortunately, about 20K miles later, my car occassionally misfires and my car's computer cannot find the cylinder that is misfiring. Therefore, I would like to replace all of my spark plugs again, potentially using better plugs than the OEM plugs. Any suggestions for the brand and model of plug I should use?

Thanks for the help in advance!

There are no better plugs than OE plugs.

This ain't a Chevy.

When you say your "car computer cannot find the cylinder that is misfiring" do you mean that you connected a code scanner or what?
Also, why don't you post this in the E55 forum so people with similar cars can help answer? Just a thought.
