Has anyone had this? I'm in Minnesota, and it's chilly here now. When I first pull out after starting the car cold (i.e. when it's sat all night or all day), it will hiccup and almost stall. It's fine after a minute or two, but it just almost dies when it's completely cold.
Thoughts? Is this something I should have looked at? Or should I just let it warm up a hair more before I try to pull out of my space?

It takes about 5-10 minutes for the throw to loosen up.
Let the car warm a bit more and see if that helps. My 530i used to sputter a bit when it was cold. I just went old school on it and gave it more gas until it worked the kinks out and warmed up!

recommended I drop the car off overnight and they would try to recreate the event in the morning on a cold start. I've never had this feeling in other cars so I am a little concerned.
