Default Dropping revs?????

Am having a strange problem.......

Traveling along at 80ish, cruising along, if I ease off the accelarater the revs drop quickly to around 1000rpm. When I press the accelrater, or change down a gear, the revs pick up to where they should be. This isn't just a dashboard issue or rev needle problem, as I can hear/feel the engine pick up revs, so it looks like the engine revs are dropping. The speed does start to drop slightly.

The revs don't drop instantly, but take a few seconds to drop, and doesn't happen every time I try, but probably 3 out 5 times.

There doesn't seem to be any issues elsewhere, or any impact on performance.

Any ideas?

It could be the throttle sensor not working right

Best bet take it in to bmw and have them check it
