It starts cold just fine, but it shakes all over the place and has a serious lack of power.

Just before I purchased the car from the dealer 4 weeks ago, there was a valve cover oil leak that they replaced. I'm wondering/hoping that something got contaminated. Coil or Valvetronic or some other component.

The car is there now and I won't know anything until the end of the week.

I couldn't drive it home.
Had the exact same issue. Couldn't drive it anywhere but took it to bmw and they swapped the ignition coils for me. Tried to charge me 200$ for a spark plug change though😑
