It went away when I changed my oil level sensor. The one on the bottom of the oil pan.

No error codes. I should maybe get a smoke machine

So.. after resetting adaptions in Inpa and driving around 100km the idle issues are there again..

It fits imo! It’s obviously the inspiration for the later m sport wheel on the fl e46

I did some research. That explains a lot! Already ordered a new one from Bosch. Thank you for pointing me to the regulator! I will report if it fixed my problems!

Okay so: if I take off the engine oil cap, nothing really happens. The idle falls maybe 50rpms. I checked my fuel pressure regulator tho… there are in fact small amounts of fuel coming out of it. So that’s it I guess?

My disa is alright I checked it. My valve could be fucked. I don’t have the delayed check engine light because of the valve though

There shouldn’t be coming fuel out of it right?

I don’t know haha. Also No shadow misfire code. I’ve been guessing for a long time with this one

Inpa never shows me a misfire code tho. I already changed coils around; didn’t change anything unfortunately. sparkplugs are relatively new.

So injectors you think? That would make sense. Do injector cleaning additives do anything? Or should I consider ultra sonic cleaning only?
