I'd still try raising the RPM. I had this experience with my 240D when it was warmed up and I was doing this test. At normal idle my cap was dancing violently and it fell off a couple times even though the engine didn't look like it was shaking. But when I raised the RPM just a little bit, the cap was rock steady.
