I'm used to the transmission's "warmup" mode (it's a slushbox, I guess I didn't mention that.) -- but this is different. This is just during the first few seconds of driving. As it is now, it's not too bothersome, but I'd hate to think I might be doing harm to the engine by driving it or that by neglecting it I could end up with a much more serious problem.

This problem just started within the last couple of months.

:/


Not a professional at this, but my assumption is basically that the engine is cold and it has something to do with the o2 and the fuel/oxygen timing etc. Dont worry too much about it when the car has reached its normal temp. condition (the needle at the middle of the temp gauge) it goes away. Its just the way e36's are. Happens to me also.
