[QUOTE="bmw33y, post: 649055, member: 31918"] Hi mate, It'll most likely be your MAF, ICV and/or throttle body filled with carbon residue, as they are common with the idling issues on M4# enigines due to carbonization over the years. With MAF, use alcohol based contact cleaner or maf cleaner... [B]DO NOT[/B] use carb cleaner or wd40 as there might be a chance that it'll fry your MAF.... as it's an electrical component... With the ICV and TB, remove it and use carb cleaner to clean it out. Check out the website on pelican parts for articles on the TB, ICV and MAF locations and how-to's before going out buying new stuff... could be just dirty from mileage/years... Regards Tim. [/QUOTE]
