    Welcome to the Forum!

    Well I would think that you have a vacuum leak. Take a look at the big black rubber tube and ensure it doesn't have any crack, splits, ect. Next anything attached to that tube has to be checked as well, so follow the smaller rubber hoses to ensure they are not cracked/split either.

    What you need to look at is #3, #8, and #9. http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/show...diagId=13_1710

    The reason why it runs just fine cold is because you have a set fuel map. It's when the car get warm and the DME starts looking at what the MAF, Oxygen sensors and MAP is reporting that is where the extra air is throwing off the motor.

    I am going to guess that you replaced the intake boot, and not just put some tape on it. All 3 items will run you around 40 euros, and if they are all good, then you have to look at the CCV system, for there can be other vacuum leaks.
