 Service Advice Please!



I haven't posted in a couple of months as I have been busy getting all those home projects out of the way so I can start on the dream garage!

Anyway, my 3 month service warranty is about to expire. Anything special that I should try and get done? The car has 23K miles and I have a fresh S54 that has 7K miles on it.

Two problems that I do have that bug me but will be hard for the dealer to track down are as follows:

1. Occasional dead miss when you stick your foot in it at lower revs. Coils?

2. Issue with idle dropping down to 400-600RPM as indicated after driving and coming to a stop at a light. I quick throttle blip corrects the idle. I would guess a vacuum leak but there are no other symptoms and it does n ot happen all the time.

Thanks for any input!

they replaced the camshaft position sensor, kicked off a warning light. took it in the light disappeared but luckily the comp recorded it. That's also when they discovered 13 bad lifters and ended up replacing those and the lifter housing. 39k miles on a 2000 and they still covered it under warranty luckily
