If you have a 316i (M40 engine) the icv is at the rear underside of the inlet manifold (below the windscreen). A can of carb cleaner should do the trick if you pull it out and use an old toothbrush to get to the insides.

If you have a 316 (M10 engine) then it's the carburettor and thats a whole different ball game :roll:

What year is the car?
