Re: idling problems
Go and buy yourself a tin of brake cleaner and spray it around all the air pipes and manifold joints.
If there is a leak it will get drawn into the engine where it burns very nicely and will make a noticeable differance to the engine note, if the revs rise a little then you can very effectivly 'zero in' on the leak, if not it evaporates harmlessly... unless your daft enough to get a nose full of it 
On my old escort it found a perforated EGR valve diaphram.. that got blanked off and is totally irrelivent to any E30, but imagine how much pratting about it would have taken to find that without the brake cleaner getting sucked in

Re: idling problems
In relation to the manual queries, it might be worth getting an E36 manual to cover the M42 bits, as the iS was a bit of a testbed before the M42 was used in other E36 derived cars.
