Only running on 4 cyl. Right bank nothing, but there is spark.

95 530 i. Drove fine last night. Today very rough idle. As i started driving theres like no power...it just wont go. Its even more rough in drive. I'm stumped. A few months ago i noticed a vaccum leak arond the throttle body. Quick smear of silicone solved the problem. O2 sensors are new! I removed the coil wires from plugs and no note change on right side of engine. But the left side when u do the same the engine note changes. Plugs are oily but not bad, coils are good I can here the spark jumping on all 8 cyl, i assume its only running on 4 cyl on the left side. wtf... what's wrong!!!! Help!

Is the engine throwing any error codes?

Checked the plugs today. Car is running on 4 cylinders. Thers is spark coming from the coils to the plugs but no engine note change like the other side. Is there some kind of module thats controls each side? I can smell unburnt fuel from exhaust.
