E60 LCI Vibrates on Start up ?!?!

I have never been very fortunate with my Bimmers and Murphy's Law just keep going on for me :( .... E60 LCI is currently 4 months old, had a shock when my whole car started vibrating one morning upon ignition as I was preparing to drive to work. I thought it was just a bad case of cold-starting the engine and proceeded to drive off... The car had almost ZERO power and wont rev above 3 - 4k, labouring to do so... I immediately called the Mobile Service as I felt it was dangerous to drive this thing, the vibration was very severe and engine always threatened to stall ...

Guess what? They told me that they could not get me the mobile mechanic or tow truck and asked me to drive to K.Arang workshop myself :( So much for mobile service....

I immediately turned off the engine, waited for a full minute and started again, surprisingly, it was normal ... And for the past 1 week, i have this problem almost every morning, bad vibration at start up ( exhaust makes a sputtering noise ) and once i re-start the engine, its ok.. No time to bring car in for service and now CNY so probably will do so after CNY ...

Anyone knows what happened? :(

I believe that once the PML guys run a diagnostic this will show the cause for misfire.Did you run it through a high pressure wash which might have affected the electrics

Nope, not that i remember of .... just bumped into another E60 owner today and he told me of a similar experience he had, brought it in to PML and apparently a valve solenoid was faulty ... :)
