I have a 1992 320I (European spec) and the idle seems to oscillate up and down when in park. When put in gear and the brake applied it will stall out.
Any ideas.
Thanks in advance.

It'll be a vacuum leak or a bad O2 sensor.
I have a 525i had idle problems for over 4 years. replaced everything, O2 sensor, hoses, swapped many parts with its twin sister but to no avail... I took the Idle Control Valve (ICV) out sprayed some CRC 556 into it cleaned it thoroughly (BE CAREFUL - as there are electrical components in there as well, don't use anything that is going to corode the electronics). Free the valve inside by rotating with finger a few times, dry it out and put it back in. Fixed in an instant. She starts without pumping the gas and idles like a kitten for the first time in almost 5 years.
