    E60 Bouncing rpm rough Idle severe power loss

    Hello I have a 2007 6 speed manual 525i E60 N52 with 69k miles. Starts fine, then a rough idle surges up to around 12-1500 rpms then it slowly settles.. after it settles it almost stalls but "bounces off of 500 rpms up to around 7-800 over and over.. weird part is at this point when I attempt to rev the engine it maxes out around 2000k rpms if I have the pedal on the floor.. If I attempt to drive it, it does the same thing and maxes out around 20 mph.. never going much above 2000 rpms... Last scanner broke and I'm currently waiting for another code reader to arrive in the mail so Im wondering if anyone has any experience or ideas.. recent parts Ive installed (within 10k miles) vanos solenoids, ccv valve kit, all spark plugs and ignition coils off the top of my head..
    Finally received my scan tool here are a list of fault codes.. some probably aren't relevant to the post..
    2A38- DME: valvetronic, monitoring, sluggish movement
    2A3F- DME: valvetronic, actuator motor: power supply
    2E8E- BSD, message: intelligent battery sensor (IBS) missing..
    E584- KBM: K-CAN line fault
    A554-Instrument Cluster: No Message (telephone)
    E104-KOMBI: K-CANline fault
    9CB9- LM: Battery exhausted....
    Thanks for any input here.

    Could this be contaminated or failing vanos solenoids?

    Interesting. Very similar to my issue, but not the same codes. https://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/s...where-to-start
