I have a 85 318i also and have the same idle problems. I've been told u have to replace the Idle control brain(in glove box) AND the idle control valve. (right on top of the engine) . both u can do yourself. ( i replaced my own alternator and belts. and I like u HAD ZERO experience. it was pretty easy.. later.. hope that helps
