It's there...look at the TB stop where it sits...it's underneath that...your best bet is to turn the screw around so it's easier...you may need to remover the TB....good luck

Be careful!
I have the same problem with my M6. It idles too high for my liking.
I did what you are thinking about and adjusted the throttle plate closed further, but ran into a problem...
The plate was apparently already adjusted as closed as it could get, my further adjusting caused the plate to bind in the TB bore. This was a scary thing. The pedal was intermittantly hard to push, so hard that it would go from nothing to floored trying to get the car moved, then would be very erratic afterwards.
I had to put it back where it was.
In my search to lower my idle, it has been taught to me by folks that know, that the computer controls the idle anyway and anything you do to counteract that mechanically, the computer will just adjust it out and raise your idle back up to where it thinks it should be. So the only real way to lower the idle is to program the computer to your wishes.
$ucks, but true.
