Slight engine stutter at idle

[FRod1981]

I mean it’s slight. No Check engine light. Only when idle. Once every 10 sec or so. Just a hiccup and then purring like normal. Things I should check/clean?

That could be a lot of things. I would get a BMW specific scanner and go from there.

Could be an injector, ignition coil, fuel filter, fuel pump, spark plug, etc. Too many possibilities to chase without scanning for error codes.
