NotreDame05 is on a distinguished road
Hi All. I am a relatively new 2006 x5 4.4 owner with NO warranty. I live in Minnesota and it is winter here. Several times I have started the car and I get the rough start in idle or reverse for about 20 seconds, but then it goes away. This morning, however, I got the rough start and the SES light came on.

Now I have read thru these 10 pages of posts and it seems to me there are two recommendations:

1) Valvetronic Lever replacement (very expensive)
2) MAF Sensor replacement (Probably expensive but not as bad as valvetronic lever replacement)

Should I even do ANYTHING about this? Unless I am missing something here, it does not seem like any of these options guarantees a fix.
