2012 535 Uneven Idle on Startup

Anyone else experiencing this ? It's VERY disconcerting. It usually last for 4-6 seconds.

I thought I remembered seeing a thread about this. But WHY didn't the car do this from the beginning ? It seems to have started around 6k miles. Are they actually going to blame this on climate?

There is a fix for this. Not sure what they did exactly if it's part of a software update or idle adjustment, but I had this problem and the dealer managed to sort it out.

Idle Fluctuation.....SIB

If you give the car some gas when this is happening do you hear something that sounds like a wastegate rattle? Coming from 2 previous N54's that noise concerns me.
