i can second the fact about the o ring i lost mine into the engine bay and had to go thru hell to get it back
Maybe take a look at this thread '08 328i E90 Rough Idle, Vibrating & Shaking...

Yep, that one plastic spacer decided to do the disappearing act on me - removed lower engine cover and it was nowhere to be found. Was working on my car a few days ago and had the air box out, and as suspected, the spacer had fallen in between the radiator and fan shroud - luckily was able to fish it out with my extendible magnetic probe with some prestik stuck on the end...
