Re: help... 1996 318is ... misfiring

not in general if it was a quality oil. You do not want a light weight oil on that turbo in the summer though. I always use 20/50 in the summer because those turbos will roast your oil.
If you engine has high miles or hasn't been taken care of by previous owners you might have a little cam wear. Unlikely that is the problem unless like I said you have really high miles or maybe that engine is hard on the valve train.
