It seems as though there is somthing out of sync. I used to get this with an old VW I owned that had dual Webber carbs. When these things got out of sync, one TB closing a little sooner then the others, I got a rough running engine with poping and choking.

On the M5 it happens when you just feather the throttle like we do on the highway.

If you mean that the car sort of surges a little bit (or speed fluctuates a very small amount) when you are holding the throttle in a position to keep the speed constant, then yes mine does it. It may be the O2sensor adjusting the mixture. Not sure if it means anything is wrong.


Who else experiences this condition. What is the culprit / fix. I either have to be ON the trottle or OFF the throttle in order for it not to flutter. There is an in-between point when your toe is just feathering the throttle that this happens.

Make stop and go traffic or just normal freeway cruising tough.

Is this an uneven TB intakes ?
