I would say no, but anything is possible. There was/is a "cold idle jerk" on m52tu engines, but not on m54's. BMW even released a software patch for this problem. This only happens when it's cold.... Here's my vanos thread I started when I did seals on an m52tu. Some great info on vanos in general.....

My vote is a vacuum leak, but you say you have a code, but no cel?
