I think the specs are 650-750 for manual tranny, when engine is at normal operating temps, and autos I think were in the same ball park but i don't remember if it was 50 lower or higher??
500 is to low... Your timing will be off spec, and you are borderline luging the engine, bad for your rings... You may also find your engine studders when accelerating from a stop???

Per the ESM:
Once the engine is warmed up and the car is idling, the tach should read the following:
Manual Transmission - 625 RPM +/-50 RPM
Automatic Transmission - 675 RPM +/-50 RPM
If it's not, which your's isn't, get it to the dealer soon. It could be signs of a bigger problem.
