BMW 3 Series cutting out

Model Year: 1999

Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
Had driven the car for about 20 miles when it slowed down and stopped.Called the AA who towed me home as they could not find the problem.
It will start, be on tickover for about 5 seconds but when you increase the revs it cuts out and will not start again until you take a plug out and then it will tick over (minus the plug).
