Judging from the other posts, it sounds like they may have had a bad run of camshafts. I'd actually be more hopeful about this issue getting resolved because:
1) its not electrical (electrical issues tend to take longer for BMW to come up with fixes for)
2) it wasn't happening to e90s prior to now (so it sounds like its probably just due to a production line worker or out of spec machine)-- so there's a good chance the new camshaft won't have these issues.

Anyway, sorry to hear about your problem-- good luck!
it's actually surprising how reliable their engines are, in general.
