Could be, but I feel like that shouldn't be the case. The plugs I got were the same Bosch plugs with the exact same part number as the OEM plugs (ZR5TPP33S). The only difference is that the OEM ones have "BMW" printed on them and the ones I bought had "Double Platinum" printed on them.
As for the the coil packs I couldn't say. Both the OEM and RockAuto coil packs were Delphi parts and they looked almost identical except the OEM coils had a white spot on top and RockAuto ones had a black spot.
Also I followed a YouTube video for the install process and that guy used the exact same plugs from RockAuto and didn't seem to have an issue.
