I have problems with rough cold idle on three of my four high mileage 3-series cars. They appear to be combinations of several small problems. Two repairs that I did this year that helped, but did not eliminate the rough cold idle were:
1) Replaced the cam position sensor on one of my '97s
2) Replaced the secondary air pump check valve on the other '97.
Who knows, if I do each of these repairs to the 'other' car, perhaps I will completely correct the cold rough idle on the e36s.

What has me confused is that it throws no codes and competely levels out after a rough idle of only 4 to 5 seconds as it idles down from startup.
