E92 B3 Biturbo: idle speed

Post by Bertroex » Wed Nov 09, 2016 4:30 pm

my car is booked into Sytner Nottingham for a check up and what not.

I noticed that the idle is actually quite low: something like 650 to 750rpm. Is that normal? Car runs great, power is, uuuufff: fantastic, and generally all seems ok.

What idle rpm are other petrol alpina owners running?

Many thanks in advance for your response.
