A miss.
That is to say not firing on all cylinders.
what would cause it to miss. i am pretty sure cylinder 3 is not firing. the guibo i had replaced a few months ago when i replaced it, it looked like yarn no rubber at all just string
wait a second here, you replaced the flex disk thingy and you still have the vibration coming thru the shifter? Less vibration than before?

...
yes the flex disk / guibo was replaced. its just not the shifter thats getting vibration its also the gas pedal and the steering wheel. but only if im under 3000 rpms if im above that the car runs perfect???????????
Check also the integrity of two rubber mounts that support the gearbox.
where is the rubber mounts that support the gearbox?
Look at the picture. It is the drivetrain of my 95 525i on the lift. The two rubber mounts are under the gear box.
that makes sense. Any idea if those mounts can be somewhat easily replaced with engine / tranny in place.

Look there
Yes and no. The access is very easy because there is only one steel bracket right below the two pieces of rubber. So you can do it by crawling under the car. If you can remove the allen keyed round bolt fastening the rubber to the transmission you will be home free. I found even with the 5 speed gear box separated from the engine and turned upside down the allen key slipped inside the bolt hole so I gave up trying.
