2006 530i with an N52 and 124k. I know we have a forum and a ton of sites for E60s, but you guys have the best advice when it comes to N52s. I've searched through the forums but I still need input on these two issues:


1. RPM play during idle. Suspecting vacuum leak but I don't know where to look anymore. I've changed the crankcase breather hose. Should I move on to the camshaft position sensor?

2. Oil Consumption is killing me; 1 quart every 800-1000 miles, NO LEAKS?! I had the valve cover gasket taken care of and the cylinder head bolts are good. I just can't find a leak anywhere and the oil level sensor is accurate (I measured the oil on my last change, 5.6 quarts, about 1.5 short). Should I suspect it burning oil or something?

I'd really appreciate any suggestions on these issues. The various 5 series sites just aren't as helpful as you guys are.
