86 BMW 735I- Help

I have posted several messages but no replies. I am asking the group for help. I just did a tune up replacing plugs, wires, caps and rotors. While it is running a little better, one problem I still have is that when I started the the car it idles rough until it is completely warmed up. Also, shouldn't the RPM be a bit higher when it is cold. It idles low and runs rough when it is cold.

Have you checked for vacuum leaks?

Spraying carb clean around the engine while it is running can show leaks by way of idle increase (the carb clean is sucked-in where the leak is and the engine rpm's increase).

I don't like using carb clean as it is flammable.

I prefer a smoke machine:
