Hey! I've got a rough idle on my 318is, it doesn't cut out, idles up and down between 800 and 1500 rpm constantly (hot or cold). I've tried cleaning the ICV with carb cleaner… 3 times! Unfortunately it still doesn't click around as easy as it should and only fixes the issue for about a minute!

Is there anywhere I can find a new ICV, or anything else I should be checking to sort it?

Cheers
