I had a similar problem with my car about a moth ago. The car was sluggish and the steptronic started in emergency mode like something had happened. I took it in and the Mech told me that the battery had a bad cell and that they had replaced it . When the car was cranked with the bad battery it was not getting enough power and the ECM put the car in basically energy saver mode. :dunno I do not know if this will help but a battery is a lot cheaper than full blown engine work.

Dinan is the only way to go for those types of upgrades, they test every config and that's why they are the only BMW authorized custom.

With Dinan if you upgrade to a free-flow cold intake they require a 'software' upgrade to your engine. I'm assuming you didn't change any of the software and you are having issues based on that.
