Thank you Z members!

Yeah, I thought the issue was engine specific and N52 was used across the BMW lineup so I created a thread here in a final desperate move.

DSC_OFF,
actually the vehicle threw an error code a month ago indicating a one time misbehavior of the Vanos solenoid valve, which was replaced rather than cleaned and used again in hopes of fixing the original issue, but to no avail.

Alexander,
the vehicle drives normally when it's cold or after the two minute period from a warm start. If the intake/fuel filter were bad, wouldn't the vehicle behave the same in all situations?
