I have noticed on my 1987 325e that I have a slight elcetrical system flicker at idle that I did not used to have, within the last year the car has recieved a new compressor, a new alternator, and it starts right up. I have also replaced the relays, the coil, so other then the battery the car is in good shape. I first noticed this from the temperature guage looked like it was vibrating, even when stopped, and then I realized that when the headlights were on and the car was at idle i could see the lights slightly flickering throughout the entire car, including the headlights, the problem seems less noticable when I rev the motor. Is this just a battery problem? or is it something more serious, any suggestions would be great.

Also, I was wodering if anyone knows where to order the pigtail of wiring that goes to the bumper directionals because, the ground in mine has deteriorated and the blinker on that side will not work, i have a replacement fixture and reflector, but bmw does not manufacture the pigtail.

Thanks
