Swapping the MAF might help. I had some harsh shifting and a pretty bad idle (sometimes the engine would stall) when I first got my 2000 540i touring. I bought a brand new Bosch MAF and that solved the issue completely. Nobody ever replaces the MAF so they do start acting up with age and mileage.

Yup I plan on swapping to see if that helps, but I have to wait a few days because I dont feel like wrenching outdoors when its 20* outside

Add fuel cleaner to your next tank. It can not hurt! There is so much trash in today's "winter gas" especially in Maryland and North.
If you pull your codes and look at the fault readings you should see the MAF fluctuations.

It's not bad at all, I opened up the secret menu and the rpms fluctuate from about 500-700rpms at idle. Barely see the needle moving

Worked on taking apart the intake system and cleaning up the MAF sensor to see if that cures the idle bounce. I inspected all the intake hoses and the hose to the secondary airpump. No signs of tears or holes of any kind. Put everything back together and idle was steady around 600-625 using the secret menu (option 7). I'll continue to monitor but looks like the MAF just needed a cleaning.
Looks like I am off to the dealer for two airbox lid clips  Both fell down into the engine compartment. I couldn't find them at all looking from the top. Decided to remove the lower splash guard...What a PITA! Whoever designed that thing was a moron. Why must something be held on by six 10mm bolts, and eight 8mm bolts...To sum it all up, the clips weren't even down there...Oh well there goes another $8-10 to buy two new clips.

Been there and done that. The clips hang around and you will see them under the headlamps after receiving your new clips. I have a few extra now just for this reason.

Yep, these X5's swallow up parts and tools like it's nothing. My 4.6 has eaten an o-ring, a valve cover + washer, a 10mm socket, and a 10mm/11mm ratcheting combo wrench. Neither have come out after 1000 miles of driving so they must be lodged in pretty deep.

Murphy's law of DIY: What you drop will delay the completion of the project. It will be a specialty item, cost will be shocking, something that has to be ordered, parts stores are closed or will require a search and drive that takes a minimum of four hours. You will not find the item or it will magically appear where you are positive you looked three to five times, that will be at least one day after the vehicle is back on the road. Footnote--Just before you drop the item you will say to yourself that you have to be very careful not to do so. And, if you buy only one replacement it is likely you will drop it again. If you buy more than one you will not drop it and never need the item again.
