With that mileage it's unlikely you have fouled plugs, even more so since you are not running a tune.

Being West Texas I bet it's crap gasoline. 91 Octane, 10-15% ethanol.
+1 on the crappy gas. Hopefully I get a call from the dealer soon, they got me driving their 320i loaner car. I've never been in such a cheap feeling BMW. At least it's brand new, less than 200 miles on the odometer.

I still think it's got to be diff/trans related. I feel like an issue with the engine would throw a CEL. But I've only been driving BMW for less than 2 years, they do have some quirks.
That's because it IS a cheap BMW ..? At $33,450... just $300 in MSRP separates that 3 series from a 228 and $350 separates it from the $33,100 base X1 which is the cheapest car in the lineup.

It's also a far cry from the $49650 340 xdrive GT at the top of the lineup.
