Grant 4 Report post Posted July 10, 2004 Hi All Here is a small helpful hint for those with E30's. Mine was running slightly rough when taking off from a stop (i.e was a bit jerky, and unpredictable) when the car was first started (for the first couple of minutes). I had put it down to the disrupted airflow from the pod air filter being so close to the AFM, but I decided to take the AFM off and have a close look at it. The flap in it was binding (but only very slightly). I gave the edges of it a good clean with a damp rag, and now it is fine again, and much smoother at take off from a stand still.

You would not have known any better, as it was all you were used to, as it would have been like it since you got the car with this AFM in it. 16 years of use, does manage to gether a bit of crud over time.
