Could be something as simple as the gas you are using as well.
Not sure about the "noise" you describe though.
Try running a few tanks of Shell premium through it ?? Skip the convenience stores and grocery store gas stations.
You an IU student? I'm a few hours north of you.

Yes I go to IU. Well.. I'm always filling with 93 ones - the V power...in shell station...
Any good machanic around here? or Indy? let me know... I need to replace my rotors, and control arm.
Thanks!

My Ride: 07 525i mystic blue / black
concept one staggered wheels
19x8.5
19x10.5
Service Bulletin 18 02 08
Customer may complain of a slight vibration and/or droning noise when the vehicle is idling in park, neutral, drive and reverse when engine is at operating temperature.
CAUSE
Insufficient vibration dampening of the exhaust system.
PROCEDURE
1.Verify the complaint. Vibration/droning is most prevalent when engine is at operating temperature.
2.Remove the lower bracket for the exhaust system. If droning/vibration is gone, proceed to step three. If vibration/droning still exists with the lower bracket removed; continue troubleshooting exhaust/driveline for other causes or conditions
3.Remove complete bracket assembly and replace it with the bracket (1) PN 18 20 7 521 346 using two new ASA bolts (PN 07 12 9 905 417. Tighten to 21Nm.
Install front pipe bracket (1) PN 18 20 7 521 347 with four rubber bushings (2) (PN 18 20 7 546 579) to the new 346 bracket with two ASA bolts (PN 07 12 9 904 559) and two nuts (PN 07 12 9 904 580). Tighten down to 21Nm
After performing this procedure the vehicle will exhibit the same amount of normal driveline vibration as a comparably equipped E60 with a M54 or N52 engine."
maybe this helps

I had a rumble like vibration at idle in my 07 530i. I complained about it every time I brought it in for service. They blew it off as being normal. Finally the Shop Foreperson raised the idle slowly until it went away (50RPM did it). Smooth as silk now.
The exhaust bulletin is interesting. That could be the root problem. They never tried that. This is the first time Ive seen a bulletin on it. The other bulletin I saw had to do with the vanos solenoid needing to be cleaned.
Many people experience this problem, many just live with it. I believe its the vanos not being able to fine tune the adjustment properly at idle.
Good Luck.
