Engine Idle Shudder

Mr&Mrs323i · 03-11-2009, 01:05 PM

Yesterday as I'm driving to work my engine had two episodes of idle shudder right after each other while at a stop light. Now I've read in other threads that its likely the fuel pump but I've not gone into limp mode yet nor had the check engine light come on. Should I take it in for inspection? I've had the car for a year now and this is the first time I've experienced this condition.
Btw this is a Sept 2007 car.

i believe the fuel pump issue is related to the twin-turbo engines only? if you have a 323, it might be a different issue..
