It is one of the two. First thing is to remove and check the plug for gap and condition. Then reset the code and run the vehicle. If it does it again, you swap the coil pack from Number 4 to Number 1. If the misfire them moves to number 1 you know the coil pack is the issue. Sometimes just moving it will fix the issue as the connections get remade.

Yes, this could be the shift solenoid. Was the transmission filter changed at the same time as the fluid? Dirt in the system can affect some of the transmission sensors tripping Trouble codes.

If you take your registration ducument to a BMW dealership they will tell you the code for free, based on the VIN number. Or look in the Glovebox for a small white sticker, or in the Owner's manual. But, I found this BMW hasn't used a "radio code" since the beginning of the e38/e39/e53/e46 generation of BMWs. That technology ended with the anti-theft radios used in BMWs prior to the aforementioned e series. The code you see appearing on your nav screen or MID (you didn't indicate which radio setup you have)...is an anomaly of the OBC's immobilizing code probably brought on by the low voltage issues you were having. There have been many threads on this topic across multiple BMW forums in that usually a simple use of "0000" or "1234" works to get past the lockout once the battery issue or low voltage issue is fixed...or initiating the emergency deactivation of the CODE found in the owner's manual. and this confirms it is the immobilizer code https://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?2270312-radio-code ..

ASK YOUR DEALER .

Test the coil packs. Also check the connections. https://www.google.com/search?q=bmw+3+series+coil+packs+testing ..

SEE A DEALER ONCE

The compression is all over the place , Do the following To find the problem . remove all spark plugs , hold the throttle open while testing , compression test all cylinders one at a time and note the compression make sure the battery is fully charged , that is called a dry test, now do a wet test , add a teaspoon of oil to the cylinder you are testing and compression test, note pressure against dry test, if the pressure is unchanged the valves need attention ,if the pressure rises the piston rings are worn or stuck .

I would check the engine mounts and any shock absorbers for the engine.
