Thanks for the help Jim Sounds like vac leak somewhere. Check the intake boots, especially the lower one with the elbow bit, thats notorious for splitting and also the top ccv pipe that runs across the top of the intake manifold next to the fuel rail.

jcjdavis1 Posted April 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 Hi spot on, vacuum pipe running along the top, 4" tear. Got a new pipe from BMW but it had a connector at one end that didn't fit, so had to cut it off. add a bit of the old using a jubilee clip job done. Thanks for your help.

A nice easy fix... glad to hear it. Mine went too, they all do eventually. The one I replaced mine with was the cold weather version which had more insulation around it and the internal pipe was much harder.
