This is a major problem with the M54 engine on the E46 forums, and no one has been able to figure it out there either.

I did find a couple places that sell ECUs that have them reprogrammed to raise the rpm to 900, vs 650, and I think I'll try that.

Has anyone ever used a tuned ECU? I searched for ECU in this forum and it said the search term was too short.

My scan tool will allow me to raise the rpm's to 800, I think. I have it a t about 790 now. It helps, but it doesn't go away. It is far more noticeable when idling in gear. Makes me wonder if it might actually be a torque converter issue?
