Any advice would be cool
Right then... My car seems to idling a bit uneven. The rev counter isn't moving around but you can clearly hear the changes in the engine note. Keeps going deeper then not.
It's a 318i 1989.

What changes have you made to the engine?
Also, check your air intake pipe (the rubber one between inlet manifold and afm) for splits. Mine did the same and i found a split under the pipe, replaced it and everything was fine.

Sounds like a good service might help 
Could have a shitty fuel filter, have you checked the intake pipe?
Start the car and get hold of the pipe and ease it up, see if there is a difference.

If you've disconnected the battery lately, the ECU RAM contents will clear, and the car will do this until the ECU re-learns the engine's characteristics, then it'll settle down after a while.
