Do a compression test. I have a 530I same engine and did the exact same as you, started repalcing the whole intake manifold/CCV/ignition/fuel system. Ended up with 175 psi on all cylinders except for #4 which was 100 psi. I was having a problem with #4 the entire time. I havent taken the car apart yet but with 135K I am having a hard time beliving it is rings. Im thinking a bent valve or a frozen lifter. Waiting for the weather to break and the X5 timing chains to be done before I tear into it. Always start with the most expencive problem and work backwards. LOL!
