    Idle problems M20- 325e

    Anyone chime in what might be causing this? I have cleaned the ICV. Vacuum leak? Here is a video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIyFUAgsRc4

        maybe cleaning out the AFM could be a solution?

          I've had this condition from time to time on the 528e. It's always been a bad connection at the Idle Air Control valve. Make sure that connection is clean and tight.

            Your video reminds me of the above as well. Check that connection. I did a home made solution with a couple of small butt connectors.
