Please let me know what your thoughts are on this.

Thanks!
I had the same problem. Fixed it by pouring Chevron Techron fuel injector cleaner in the gas tank. My theory is that the e90 does not have a user friendly way of replacing the fuel filter (it is integrated with the fuel pump and costs over $240 to replace) therefore dirty fuel is fouling up the injectors. Good luck and post an update.
