Thanks for replying me,
The problem, every morning when i'm start the engine I need to wait 5min to 10min to go, because the idle nedle clock are keep going down and up, betwen 500 to 1000rpm then stay in 800rpm something.
When i'm on traffic light or stop for any reason the idle clock is going down and the engine are vibrating nearly to stop, all i have to do is step slighly to accelirator pedal. There is not happend all the time.
Driving are fine, sometimes when I'm fully stop (neutral or 1st gear but on clutch) rpm not normal sometimes 1000rpm, sometimes below 600rpm the engine nearly to turn off because the engine are vibrating.
Thank you so much again I hope you can help me.

Hmmm. Sounds like your first problem may be a cold start issue, I get that sometimes when the temp gets real low out here and I start it up.

The stop light issue sounds like it is idleing to low and that the motor is on the verge of stalling. Not sure exactly what would cause that, and we never got the 316i here in the states.

I would recomend taking it to a trusted mechanic who knows Bimmers, see what he has to say. Not to sure how it works in the rest of the world, but you should be able to at least get him to tell you what is wrong as a free estimate. That should give you a good idea at whats wrong, and might give us some extra clues to fixing it.

Man.. did you find the cause of your idle problem? I got a similar problem with my 320i.. I think it should be something relating an air leak from the intake.

Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.
