Exclamation F10 m5 rough idle on cold starts

Hi there guys, I was wondering if anybody else is having this issue during cold starts, the engine starts and the revs jump up to around 1500 rpm. However during the cold start and for a little while after the revs jump up and down 50-100 rpm until you drive off and get some heat in the engine...

Any suggestions for what might me causing these rev fluctuations? And how to deal with it.. thanks..

I wrote a guide on how to fix it by cleaning maf sensors. Check it out and see if it helps

Cou can even try to unplug the MAF’s temporarily they’re the ones on the intake tubes coming from the airbox just to see if that makes that uneven idle go away then obviously plug them back in after. But as raz said it’s prob just dirty MAF’s they’re easy to pull and then spray with MAF cleaner.
