Hey fellas,
When I start my e30 325i it's idle speed is stable, around the 700 rpm mark. Then when I put the lights on, it drops to 600 rpm, hen when I put it into drive its 500 rpm and the lights dip a little.

It seems the alternator is struggling a little, do all your e30's do this? What might this be?
