Having some engine trouble.

I think he is talking about the AFM circuit board. He bent the pins you see to the left of the picture so that they don't touch the broken part of the track.
Jordan...I am very happy to see you figured this out. I will be looking at my AFM this week.

My M3 did the same thing, it was the AFM for me too. Ran great all the way until about 6k then it just runs out of steam all of a sudden.

Glad you got it all worked out.

Glad you kept posted on this thread until you found the cause, if you would, edit the first post with the conclusion. It seems to be a common problem and would've saved me about 20 minutes if i would've read it on the first page.

I will check this out tomorrow, my car is doing the exact same thing your's is, i changed my spark plugs and it helped a little, but still there.

i read somwhere about the fuel systems having trouble on E30's when its below half a tank some times, the pump can't hold the presure cause of less fuel, top it off or clamp the return line and see if she winds up, also im more partial to the chevron gas... anywho sounds fuel related, i have that problem as well but its only when i first start the car and its at the low RPM's not the the high... anywho good luck to ya

I agree shell is the S%$t's, I only use chevron and I have had no issues.
