 I think it's a design issue so the best they can do is to lube it with silicone for a temporary fix.
- WHEN COASTING IN REVERSE (AFTER NOT DRIVING FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, OVERNIGHT, ETC.), ENGINE SEEMS TO NEARLY STALL OR HESITATE—SIMILAR TO THE FEELING OF RUNNING OUT OF GASOLINE.The M54 engine has a history of idle problems. There are many posts regarding this on the E46 forums. My 330 use to pulse RPM's up and down in neutral after reversing, sometimes stalling. I haven't seen it since I replaced the input cam position sensor a few months ago but that could just be a coincidence.
