HELP! ___1985 318i,138884 mi has BIG driveability problems.It's so 
bad I doudt I could give the car away.Problem is intermittant bucking 
& missing.Dealer says everingthing checks out OK.Just a case of 
carbon buildup.A chem decarb &$208 later dealer says car runs 90% 
better.Daugterr(her car),Wife and I all say BS. Two years ago we had 
the same problem.Same dealer replaced idle stab.control unit 
&injector wiring harness with new config.parts.This fixed things for 
awhile.Air flow meter &ignition module both replaced about 18kmi 
ago.I continue to suspect electronics.Dealer says drive it and use 
more BMW fuel additive.Any one out there had a sim. prob? Any ideas?
