Ditch the Champions, install the Bosch Silbers that were designed for the
engine.

Read http://www.geocities.com/bmw535i86/text/idle_FAQ.html for a discussion
of how the E28 idle system works, and doesn't.

At least for me, had the same engine

Maybe it is the O2 sensor (lambda-sonde) . It is located in the front parts of the exhaustor.
Pull the connector off and if the cars goes normal, except of needing much more fuel,
the sensor has to be replaced.
