Poor Idle

I have an E70 X5M with an odd problem. This only will happen when I start the car (First start for the day cold engine) and I let it idle for around 5 minutes before I actually move the car to start my journey. The car is idling fine at this point I start my journey and at some point I reach a stop light, when I stop the car idle is very bad and I have to press the gas pedal so it will not stall. The light changes to green and I continue and it accelerates and cruises along as normal. If I have to stop again it has poor idle. Once I reach my destination go in to buy groceries for example come out start the engine it idles normal and the return home all is normal. If start the car ( First for the day cold engine) and start my journey immediately I have no idle issue and the car will perform normal.

Any ideas?
