335 engine shimmy at idle

HeadlessChicken · 10-18-2006, 02:24 PM

I have a 335 e90 with about 400 miles. Frequently after driving when I come to a stop, after being stopped and idling for about 10-15 seconds, the engine will shake for about 1 second. It's nothing terrible, but noticeable. It's fairly consistent and may be something cycling given its consistency. Any other 335 drivers experienced the same. Any ideas. Don't get me wrong, I am not too concerned, just wondering if anyone knows what it is.

Not an expert but I think its your engine management maintaining the idle and its within spec. I think my N52B30 does this as well. You might want to try a different brand of gasoline?
