When I first start the car, it stumbles for a second or two, and then smooths out. When driving at lower speeds (say 30 KM/Hr) and I try to accelerate, it can stumble quite badly. If I do not let up on the pedal it feels as if the engine will die.

Sitting at idle in park if I floor it, I can easily kill the engine.

Right now I do not have the ability to pull codes, but I will soon (using Torque).

To me this sounds like a vacuum leak, whcih I will look for within the next day or two. If this was an E46 I'd be going after the intake boots.... Does the E90 have the same issue, or would it be best for me to look elsewhere for the leak, or is there something else I should be looking at?

Thank you for your help,
Scott

I have a 2006 330i (135,000kms) with exactly the same sounding stumbling symptoms you described. Did you find a solution to you issue? Thanks. Richard
