My Ride: 5 Series Touring (E61) 2005, 530d
Hi all,
I have a E61 2005 530d and just recently had a service (oil, filter, air filter change). Unless I'm mistaken, it appears that the car seems to be running a bit too lean. I need ot check again, but I think it idle at less than 500 rpms. Is this right? What do you guys/gals with a 530d idle at?
Also, any sugguestions on what it could be?
Thanks in advance!

Mine idles somewhere between 600 and 700rpm. It's a steady idle it's just there's no marking to figure out exactly what the figure is.
