I have experienced the same issue in an old E36. The deceleration symptom sounds like your engine mounts. I've driven an E36 without ANY engine mounts installed so I know exactly what the worst case scenario is. If you've cleaned the throttle body, did you also clean the Idle Air Control valve? Also a tip I picked up is to put some white lithium grease around the sealing surface of the nipple of the IAC - the area that you're going to shove into the vacuum hose under the manifold when you reinstall it. It helps to slip it in easy and form an air-tight seal.
