    u will probably find that your are drawing air from somwhere check all breather on the inlet manifold .another way to check is to start enigine and spray light oil like wd40 arund inlet manifold and listen for changes in the engine iff it is sucking frome there the light oil will be drawn to the point where the leak might be.

    It could be anything. At this age, I would not be concerned. BMW's tend to have an uneven idle anyway. It's part of their personality and as long as it doesn't stall, save your money and enjoy the ride.
