my 540i/a is running rough yet. changed o2 sensors, tested mass air flow sensors, good compression, new plugs, cleaned & tested injectors. my mechanic went over anything he could think of. he thinks that the problem could be the torque converteris out of balance. it idles a little rough, gets worse around 1200-1400, & then smooths out around 2500. it does this in park or drive or reverse. any help could be usefull.
thanks

Mmm... sound like he missed intake manifold gasket and ICV valve.

you mean a leak down test. my 540i/a has an alusil block (m60b40 1 745 872).
thanks
