Thanks guys. I did not change the fuel filter yet but did change the oil to BMW oil and put Lucas Engine Treament in the fuel. It seem to have simmered down but I will get a retarded moment every now an then. I still wish to change the fuel filter. That will be next. Will keep you posted. Runs like a champ other wise. I am just picky about any unusual idle. A bump here and there bothers me.

Ok I tried the lower octane . . three tanks and it did not make the problem better. I am not positive the dealer completed the SB dealing with the valve clearance. It runs smooth as heck on the open road but in town I get that BUMP in the ilde and like it just wants to take off at a stop light. I just feel like selling it and starting over.
