How about when you come to a stop, does the RPM jump up to about 1k rpm, then drop?
Thanks for responding, I'm trying to figure out if the behavior is normal.

Well if you're off the clutch pedal, then the plates are together. It may not be turning the drive (not in gear), but it's connected. So it's a load albeit a small one... I assume this is what you're seeing.
My E46 had similar behavior, as does my F30 (both w/ manual gearboxes)
edit: sorry, I didn't mean to suggest there was an electrical load.
