I have not had any problems since mine was replaced about a month ago. Did you have your motor mounts replaced when you had the block done? I know one of mine was destroyed, so I had both replaced.

Just my .02

just curious if anyone has experienced a stronger than expected lope at idle with their new short block(especially in their 530i 5 speed). I have 2,500 miles on my new block and feel that the idle lopes or rocks more so than my old Nikasil block. Keep in mind I also paid the dealer to tune the valves and service "everything" that was not included/covered in the block replacement. Dealer says the car idles great which leads me to believe I am victim to the infamous "that's just the way the V-8's are" excuse. My 530i is running great, however the idle seems to lope/rock at idle, red lights, to the point where you feel it in the driver seat. So basically I am curious if any other 530/540 owners with new blocks are experiencing the same thing. Thanks
