Hi All 545iA owners!
Can you guys please help and confirm whether your 545iA shakes/jitters (idles rough) when the car is sitting there idling in Park or Drive?
I have an '04 545iA with 21,489 miles that shakes/jitters (idles rough) when the car is idling in Park or Drive. The problem occurs either when the car is cold or hot.
My car has been in and out of the dealer for about 4-5 times now. Thus far, my dealer has opened a PUMA case with BMW of North America and has performed the following:
1. Updated my car to the most recent software
2. Have the Field Service Engineer look at my car
3. Replaced all the intermediate levers and eccentric shafts
4. Submitted all my car data to BMW Engineers after the replacement of the intermediate levers and eccentric shafts
5. Performed a vacuum test, determined there is a vacuum leak, and replaced the vacuum hoses that leaked.
However, my car still shakes/jitters when it idles in Park. I did see a slight improvement when the car idles in Drive. It does not shake or jitter as much. My Service Manager said their next course of action is to have another Field Service Engineer look at my car on Monday, May 15.
Please advise ASAP! Thank you in advance!
