I drive a 97 M3...on occasion when i start up my car i get a shake (like just a slight one) for about a minute then it goes away and is fine

does anyone else get this, is it common, should i be worried

thanks in advance

dirty ICV valve. (Idle control valve). it can sometimes be cleaned instead of replacing it.

This has been gone over so many times. Dont worry about it, thers is nothing wrong with your car.

could be fuel, could be your car just being older and enjoying pissing you off, could be the ICV. prob just your car dumping fuel in the engine trying to get it started... if you let it idel for a min and it goes away then you have nothing to worry about.... if it shakes in traffic when your stopped and the engine is up to normal temp then I would say ICV is something to look at.
