    could it be the vanos ,the seals leak and it causes no power till 4 grand, that's my problem ,the forem said it was the air flow meter ,if you un plug it the car should run fine ,but if its the vanos a second hand one check as the M52 engine from e39 fits ,or get a kit of new rubbers ,but you have to be good at dismantling and reassembling,mite need to look the double over head cams
