It worked great!!!!

I've been driving my 850i to work everyday for the past 2 weeks. This occurs while at highway speeds: Cruising along at anywhere from 50 to 80 mph, any slight twitch of my foot on the acelerator causes the rpm to drop by approx. 300 rpm. This of course causes the car to decelerate or lurch slightly. Pressing ever so slightly on the pedal again, causes the rpm to jump right back up by 300rpm and it will stay there unless I shift my foot. (trans. is an automatic)

Is this normal, or is the throttle cable adjusted incorrectly? Perhaps something is wrong with the transmission? Seems to me that the acelerator is way too sensitive. I'd appreciate it, if anyone could advise me on this.

Thanks!

Neal
