Default Loose spark plug caused miss at 4k rpm

My 318ti would get to about 4k rpm and start missing. There was also a clicking under the hood that I could not isolate. I figured I was in for new plugs, maybe wires and maybe coil pack? I bought the cheapest copper plugs I could find.

While taking the old plugs out the first three were pretty tight. When I put the socket on the last plug it would jiggle around. It wasn't even hand tight. I put in the new plugs and immediately I could tell the clicking was gone and felt pretty optimistic. I ran it down the road to warm it up. I have never had a car past 5k before but I was there in what seemed like a heart beat. I shifted at 5,200 because it seemed like the rubber band was wound pretty tight. No missing and could get to be a pretty fun car to drive.
