the question is

Does the car moves when gear is in D Mode and petrol is not applied " same as in the posted pic above "

for me sometimes it moves and sometimes it did not move ?? is our e60 heavy car ?
My car does 0 to 60 in 14.7 secs in idle.

While something of a simplification, warmed-up idles for a 545i are 500 RPM with climate control off and 700 RPM with climate control on.
Actually, it gets to 700 rpm only when the compressor is ON. In mine, sometimes when the compressor is not running, it idles at 500 rpm even with climate control on (auto on, inside, AC all lit up).
