Nev...guess you are using E30 325 clocks...have you tried fitting another tacho or a timing device that will show rpm to check whether the clocks are correct...I dont know an exact figure for the E34 but would expect to be arount 680-800 rpm...I will look up some books or on the net unless one of the 5 series guys posts...cheers Neil

Standard tickover on an e34 M5 is 850rpm -but it it is a bit lumpy to the 'racey' cams and will happily wander between 800 & 900rpm.
