BMW Z4M loss of power

Hi All

I have been parking the Z4M off over the last year, probably driven about 1k km over the last 6 months. Car is currently on 91k km.

Today I took the car out and on the way back, stopped at robots, AC on and when I took off it felt like how my Corsa felt when one of the coils went. Stuttering, sounds like a diesel, no power in the early couple thousand revs and once I got it onto the highway home, it was a bit better from 14th avenue to William Nicol as I was able to cruise at about 80-90km/hr.

Any thoughts on possible issues? Thinking coils/plugs but some posts I have read illude to vanos?

Should I drive the car to Tunetech or down the road to Cedar Isle as it is?

Trying to keep this car mint so bearings planned in next month or so but now this.....:blueCry:

If you near William Nicol and Republic stop by and we can read codes.

The stuttering could be a coil wire a coil a plug a vanos solenoid etc.
Too much guess work on those engines.
