Charlie and Mustafa = Two thumbs up

Well, I spent most of saturday at Bimmersport trying to sort out an idle/stall issue that I had with my ride. Anyway, Charlie and Mustafa aka Kassab finally fixed it. I waited until today to post because the car only had this problem after sitting overnight. This morning I fired her up and she purred like a kitten. The idle wasn't shaky and for the first time in almost a year, the car didn't stall.
Much respect to Charlie and Mustafa and thanks for doing such a big job on a saturday.

P.S. Thanks for breakfast and coffee

so what was the problem? ICV?

A Vanos with six years worth of gunk and a cyclone separator aka the crankcase ventilator.

it was my pleasure to serve your car. how is it running?

I swear it's running like brand new now. It no longer feels dead at 2500 rpm and it doesn't stall on me in the mornings (embarassing) at the first stoplight by my house.

How's the secret project coming along? Make sure you let me know when you're gonna do the first donut in that thing
