try cleaning your icv( http://www.e36coupe.com/technical/Clean ... _Valve.pdf )and checking for air leaks in the intake

Cleaned the icv about a month ago Dave, it wouldnt get gummed up so quickly would it? Only done about 500miles since last doing it?
Car runs fine apart from that, well i think it does anyway

with the car running spray wd40 or carb cleaner around the inlet manifold where it mates to the head. If normal idle is briefly restored, then you have an inlet manifold gasket leak.
Also check the rubber bellows for any splits/ leaks and also the pipes/ vacum hoses that go to the throttle body

Thanx guys
Will go and check just now. Maybe after 6 months of having the car it'll finally run ok!!
