I have a 545i with 46k miles on it. Recently I've noticed that it idles a litte rough. While the car is in neutral and if you rev it to exactly 2k, it feels like the motor is shaking a little bit. I don't know what it could be. A motor mount? Oh, and you can't feel it while driving at all. It still pulls through the entire RPM range. It's really bugging me. Any advice?
Thanks guys.

If thats not it then it's prob the motor mounts or the lifters going bad.

For some reason this comes to mind for a rough idling N62. The diaphragm in item 13 goes bad or gets sticky and causes a vacuum issue.
Maybe a V8 owner will chime in and clarify.

I did notice that you said these motors take 8 quarts of oil. When I asked the dealer, they told me 8.5 quarts. It might be slightly overfilled. I wonder if I take some oil out, maybe this problem will go away. I'll have to try it out.
