First time I complained about my rough idle, the dealership replaced the HPFP. I took my car in for its first service last week and asked them to check the rough idle again. They said it was throwing codes so they put in a new HPFP.

The service at my dealership has been great.

a few times, goign through the car wash, my rpm's start to drop really low, and it feels like the car is about to stall.. its also happened when i'm in neutral for too long.. i have an 2008 328i.. i should probably take it in, but its hard to reproduce, as it only happens sometimes.

my car feels like its about to stall every morning if i leave it at idle.
if I start driving it feels sluggish for me but the service manager claims its fine.

will take it again today.

Please don't take your car through there again.

It cries each time

yes, that's what happens to me (not every day though; only on occasion.) It feels like its about to stall (and probably would if i didn't rev it to keep it running)..

it happened last night when i was going through the car wash - and when i was driving out of the car wash, it felt very sluggish. but then once i started driving it was ok. its so weird.

i would think it has something to do with being in the car wash, except that its happened while idling (waiting in my car for a friend)... i'm curious to hear what they tell you when you take it in.

That happened to my 325i and I took it to the dealer and they replaced the intake and exhaust sensor. Now it just runs perfect.

touchless car wash. Not a bad thing, underbody wash is gold during winter
