I see the problem (sport mode) it draws you in 
That and it’s the 35i / is I’m guessing.

I think sports mode x2 with the engine and gearbox that’s the problem, and the roads on my doorstep.
The DCT S mode holds the gear much higher before it changes
It’s not a problem............... until it’s time to refuel.
Yes, 35iS

Well,
It appears to be running at 550 rpm idle today with the Aircon off.
Smooth as a button and the gear stick is not shaking around either !!
Maybe I just happen to notice it when it's cold or not warmed up much.

Low idle speed ?
It is upto normal operating temperature now unlike the previous photo..
Wonder if being a manual makes a difference..set a slower idle?
TIS says "Idle speed control
For idle speed control, the Digital Engine Electronics (DME) control the following factors:
Air mass (via Valvetronic and electrical throttle-valve actuator)
Injected fuel quantity
Point of ignition.
The set engine speed when idling depends on different conditions, for example coolant temperature or power requirement of the auxiliary components."
I assume no error codes when you looked?
