Hi can I get some suggestions of where you take old BMW's like mine. I used Little Garage for over a year, they don't seem able to fix my car's rough idle... etc. I'm in long Island. Thanks

theres loads of people on here with straight six bimmers with erratic idles,

i was reading th bently bmw 3 series manual and saw this:

"a cracked or leaking pressure regulator vaccuum hose may cause and erratic idle"

ive never even thought this hose to be a posibiliy and if it is it would be a cheap fix to a pain in the arse problem...

thought sombody might want to inspect or renew theirs, ill do it when ive replaced sump gasket and cam chain etc......
