NOT VANOS, Sorry +4 & +2 spark plugs

Hey Guys,

Have a problem with my wife's 93 e36.
The car has 250,000 miles and has been fairly trouble free for a long time, but recently It has been missing and loosing power from 1500 to 3500 rpm. The car idles fine and smooths out after 3500 rpm.
The compression is 185 lbs. (+/- 5 lbs.) on all six cylinders. The fuel pressure is 44 lbs. at the fuel rail. I installed new Bosch Platnum +4 Plugs and torqued them to specs. There are no vacuum leaks.

I am begining to suspect the VANOS unit.

Any thoughts or sugestions would be appreciated.
