yes it is a bit low.
sometimes i can get the van to idle down to less than 100rpm even though its clearly idling at normal speed.
check your idle speed with another source.

My EB seems to idle around the 400rpm mark in gear. Strange, but like you, I've never had any issues with a rough idle, or it cutting or spluttering out.

You sure because as John_xr6 said, the first line on the tacho is 500rpm, so if you are idling at 400 is isn't even registering.
