Could be ignition coils, I had the same prob. Turned out to be my no.3 ignition coil i think. If they're old, you can replace them all or you can be cheap like me, buy one, and keep switching it to see if the problem is resolved. This last :cool: method won't help if you have more than one coil bad though.

Ok, before you go replaceing all the expensive parts, and i know this sound dumb but i used to be a BMW technician. When was the last time you replaced your spark plugs? or your plug wires? Check all your vacuum lines, this sound like it could be a simple fix, dont forget how simple our engines are, check those things and then post back on your findings and we can go from there.

I dont know how many times ive seen people start to throw parts at their car when all it need was some plug wires, or something simple.

Yeah, plugs and wires would probably be a good place to start if you havent done so already.
