What Is a Good Idle RPM for 528e?

My 528e with fresh head rebuild and all new gaskets and hoses installed idles around 650 - 700 RPM when warm. It's slightly higher when cold ... until that 45' switch on the idle control system kicks in (or out).101

my pop has a very nice 2001 e38 740il. They do take a good amount of cash to keep them in nice condition. Last month was a lock plate and cables for the drivers door, a cam position sensor for bank one, oil and filter service, and a left front wheel bearing. A few months before that it was the front suspension, a few months before that it was a reseal job on the timing chain covers. Last year we did plugs and a reseal on the upper half of the motor, plus a tranny service. I do his work and it still adds up to a decent amount of money every year. However everything on his car works and its probably one of the nicest e38's I've ever been around. These cars go for cheap nowadays because people can't afford to maintain them and they become rolling money pits. If it doesn't have a detailed and extensive repair history you may find that things start adding up. That said, I still want one.sigpic
