07 E90 Cold Start

In the mornings when I start my car, I notice a super mild, barely noticeable offset vibration. I can hear the engine subtly being uneven. To me seems like a coil pack might be heading on its way out?? Issue goes away after 5 minutes or so, after being warmed up. No error codes yet. Is it worth just replacing them? I am at 75000 miles.

I have an 07 e90... it is a Lil ruff at warm up before idle falls to 630 rpm. No codes... New plugs in November. And one new coil at same time. I'm not worried about anything. Runs great.

For peace of mind, there are many ways to check engine codes even if the service engine soon light is not on. If you have a JB4 you can use the usb cable to check the codes, if you have an android device, theres an app called MHD tuner that will allow you to check codes for a small software fee. You also need a K+DCAN cable and a USBOTG capable android device to use it. Both of these methods will give you much more detailed error codes then a regular OBDII code reader, and if there is any problem with the car, the codes will show even without the SES light.
