J30's don't have a distributor. Each cylinder has its own ignition coil controlled from the engine computer.
It sounds like it is misfiring as one of the cylinders is now no longer reaching ignition.
I'd say double check the connections. Push on each plug to make sure they are completely engaged. I am talking about the power source to the coil.
Hopefully, you didn't overtorque the plugs and strip the cylinder head sparkplug sockets. Only about 15-18 ft./lbs. are needed.
It is possible that the wires from the distributor were not replaced to their corresponding spark plugs. Did you use the correct replacement plugs? The J30 requires platinum-tipped spark plugs.
You have connected the wires to the wrong plugs.
The specs on NGK brand spark plugs for 1985-1993 BMW 535i lists the gap at 0.028. Hope that helps.
removed plug wire, remove spark plug, gap new plug to spec. and reinstall. Repeat for every other cylinder. Would recommend replacing plug wires, cap and rotor when replacing spark plugs.
Assemblers of Infinity was created in 1993.

I believe '91-'94 are compatible.
No
As long as the engine is VG30DE.
Remove the driver's seat and panels under the seat .This will show a metal cover on side of engine. Remove this and you will see the spark plugs. The plugs are damned expensive , but only require replacing every 100,000kms. I have had the same plugs since new, and it has now done 315,000kms and still doesn't miss a beat.
You can replace them in any order. Just do not forget which plug wire goes to which cylinder.. The engine is a 4.3
Like most cars with no "spark" it can be caused by faulty/old cables. Replacing them would be a quick and cheap solution if in fact they are the cause.
