I have a 2000 528i wagon and last week it began to run like crap - rough idle, lack of power, it even sounded like is was struggling and was louder than normal! Anyway, took it to my mechanic and he tells me that it has a cracked valve cover and is "sucking air." After having it diagnosed, it barely made it home and now I am really wondering what the deal is. Has anyone heard of this? Is this common with this engine? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Andy

sounds right.... Cracked Valve cover would Cause a Massive vacuum leak and cause the issues your having
