Hello everyone,
I have an 04 525i with high mileage. Today I started my car after it's been sitting in the cold rain all day and the car started to shake noticeably. After about 10 seconds it stopped shaking and everything was fine. I recently bought this car used fairly recently... but I know it's been serviced at BMW.
Does anyone have any clue why the E60 would shake? Thanks!

That is normal, but if it shaking continuously then, get ready for an ignition coil replacement

In my case it only shook for the first time I've owned it, and it stopped after 5-10 seconds.... so I can assume this is normal?

When weather is cold and wet, sometimes (high mileage) yes it is

It was shaking off the rain!!
I think it may have been trying to get up to operating temperature. Ignition coil?...maybe. Was it a violent shake or just a tremor? Only the once?
