My 1999 e36 328ci (yes - e36)has a tendency to chug a little when it is
humid during gear shifts. When the engine is in lower rev's there is the
feel of a miss fire happening which immediately clears up once into the
power band. When the engine is scanned - nothing comes up in the computer
to point to any issues - at all

Some suggest that this is a VANOS issue. Some also suggest that this is a
characteristic of the engine (Which I have a hard time believing).
Is there any "fix" for this specific type of issue?

Make sure your battery is fully charged and making a good connection. I had
this after changing a battery. Lo RPMs felt sluggish, sometimes even
bonked. At hi RPMs teh altenator has more amps available and supplies the
engine better.

Good Luck
