The throttle switch could be on the way out. If the switch doesn't close properly, the idle will oscillate for about 10-15 secs before it settles down.......usually it will be a wide variation in idle speed during this start up.
The switch can be adjusted but it usually is a short term fix as the switch is generally starting to fatigue. This due to the fact that it is
on and off so often when driving..... ie: Accellerate,(then foot off the pedal while changing gear)etc. normal driving....every time you take your foot off the pedal, the throttle switch is being exercised. Then, to make it worse, the switch is engaged while ever the car is off.
So, when you consider the work it gets, the switch will eventually give way.
It was also the very first fault I had with my '86 EMS. It has stuck deep in my mind over years...
I now have a new baby....'93 900i 5 door - BIG improvement I must say......
