Sounds like you have a vacuum leak. Check the intake system for leaks, and don't forget to check the rubber boot for the mass airflow sensor.

The running joke in the car business was
if you had a used BMW on your lot and the "Check Engine Light" was not on; it was because it was broken |

You can smoke test the system or have a shop do it for you if you don't have a unit. Can use this site to help you find an indy shop that can perform the test: https://www.bimmershops.com/
