What type of oil do you use? When was the last time you changed it?

But I had similar problems with my 330i -03 (same engine as in the first years 530i's) where the engine seemed to be running only on 5 cyls. Irang my local BMW dealer and they said that it's a known problem without any real remedy - I should switch the engine off and start again. I did, and the problem was over. It happend especially if I started the egine cold, switched it off again after a couple of seconds and then started it again. (eg moving the car for washing in front of the house)

You haven't specified what year your 530i was built, nore where in the world you live, so it isn't that easy to help you...
