Hello!
So I own 1998 535i and have a shuddering problem when the car is running. Not exactly when i start it up, but when I'm in any gear besides first. When i try to accelerate really fast on low RPM's the car starts to shake and has a hard time to pick up pase, but about at 2000 RPM's the shaking stops and the speed kicks in. The same problem for every gear except the first. It doesn't sound like misfireing or anyting else.
Friend of mine said it could be a bad MAF sensore, cause when I bought the car the last owenr said it has a bad sensor and it should be changed. Can that be the case?
Welcome to the Forum!
Is that Riga, Latvia by chance?
Okay, going to need a little bit more info for myself and the group to help you with this:
1) KM stand on the Odometer
2) Manual or Auto transmission
3) Any EML or Check Engine light
4) Have you have the DME/ECU scanned for DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Codes)?
Just off the cuff I would suspect a vacuum leak.

Cool, I was there last year on a "extended vacation". lol
So my first advice would be to find a shop in the city that has access to a code reader that can talk to the car. My second advice is if you don't want to pay for something like that and have some computer skill, you can always do it yourself with this cable and of course a laptop with a USB connector.
You can find the software for INPA on this forum
