Hey guys i'm new to the site and i've got a 1997 318i with about 178000 miles on it i just bought the car and it was running great the first couple weeks now when i come to a stop the car idles at round 2500 to 3000 rpms also as i'm coming to a stop the idle drops way down and then goes up and down until i come to a stop and input would be great i know nothing about these cars. thanks again
