I've felt this a few times on my 335xi but with a manual transmission, when in 6th and giving it moderate throttle without downshifting. My injectors were replaced 30k miles ago, my spark plugs only...

Good call skipping Venice. I'm guessing it's because of the winter tires or airfare reasons that you aren't dropping off in Frankfurt instead?

As for the vignettes, I'd wait until the gas...

I got mine at the Austrian border when I bought my vignette. They were maybe €5 or €6, so this is cheaper if you have room to pack them. :thumbup:

From leaving it at the shipping agent, to your home dealership is probably 6-8 weeks (12 weeks west coast, through the Canal). Part of it is waiting for the agent to get it to Bremerhaven, and then...

If you have reduced power, it's probably the HPFP. When I had misfiring it was the fuel injectors. After the car sat for a half day that problem went away briefly, then started firing bad again.
