spluttering 325i cab

It does sound a bit like you need to check for air leaks between the AFM and the throttle body. Mr friends car ran like that and it turned out the pipe between the idle control valve and the manifold had partly come off.

Na i had a look at that and they all seem ok.. i drove it home a while ago and he you keep it at high revs (OVER 4G) it don't splutter
