Engine/car vibrates on cold start periodically

Still under warranty. Dealer is an hour away. Drives fine after first 30 seconds. Thoughts? 32k miles 2009 328iA. No Engine Mods. Has happened from different tanks of gas. Always use tier 1 premium.

Do you warm up your car? Is your engine vibrating or your tranny is just shifting hard? Is it constantly vibrating or only intermittently?

Cold start sitting. Intermittently

don't warm it up unless it is buck ass cold outside.

This happens to me when it's cold and I put it on reverse. Warm it up for 30 seconds - 1 minute and you'll be fine.
