Default "Stutter" hose---picture please!

Several posters on the "stutter" thread have reported clamping a hose and one said it stopped the stutter. I asked for a pic on that thread but have no replies. I would really appreciate a picture of this hose so I (and others) may check it for tightness. Would be nice if this was the simple solution to the low idle stutter we all seem to have. I am doubting it, as only one poster has said it fixed the stutter. But---it is definitely worth checking this mystery hose. I am nearing 3000 miles and still have the stutter at startup. Thanks to anyone who can post a pic.

not if it's a 3 minute fix. I've got two dealers within 10 miles of my office and it still isnt worth my time to bring it in if I can fix it myself in less than 5 minutes...

I just got my 2011 Screw EcoBst and haven't had a problem...but if these trucks are "EGR Equipped", I would look for a loose hose in that region...just sayin'

A slight stutter or misfire on DI engines is normal guys. Lots of guys had it on their 335i's with no problems. If the misfire becomes bad on cold morning starts then you may have a leaking injector.
