I have not done anything so far. I am trying to find out on this site what do I need to troubleshoot/fix.
Really no idea where to start.

The problem will require some diagnostic skills and perhaps some special tools and equipment, are you so prepared?

Yesterday I took the care to the parts store to have the error code read. It came back with errors:
oxigen sensor
engine missfire

I preceeded to replace all spark plugs.

That did not improve the engine performance one bit.

What can I do next?

I will need the last seven characters of the VIN to offer an opinion since BMW did not have a 330 model in 1991.
