Thanks
The ICV is a little fiddly to access, but not too bad if you take it steady and make sure all the hoses go back on tightly.
I recently picked up an E85 with the M54 engine that had no idle issues at all. I removed the ICV as a matter of course, simply to remove all the crud that builds up over the years. It did still move but reluctantly. 10 minutes with some carb cleaner and a good twist about to get it moving and it's much better.
I'd suggest that you should try cleaning it up anyway if it's never been done before.

Always happy to help if I can.

If the forum helped you, why not help the forum back. Thats the Z4 way! :thumbsup:
