I use 93 octane , and have pushed her hard before with no issues.

What could it be ? (Ya ya I know scan it, waiting ok binnergreks cable to come though)

Thanks for ideas!!
Codes? If this forum doesn't have code numbers, then we can't really help you 100%.

I'd say it's Vanos Solenoids. You need to clean them.

You probably need to do an engine oil flush in addition to cleaning and swapping your Vanos Solenoids, but again no codes, I really don't know for sure.
