Hope that works out for you!

By comparison, here is mine at -1.5C exhibiting what I think is normal behaviour for BMW petrol engines. Every modern car I've owned (those without carbs or a choke!), e.g. Jag X-Type 2.0D, E60 520d, E90 LCI 330d have never experienced any such behaviour on a cold start. The 330d even went down to -18C at one point and started like a good'un with virtually no delay from the glow plugs.

On my 328i, the revs drop to 1000rpm, shudder and pick themselves back up. This seems to be standard behaviour now at +3-4C and below. No pedal input from me. It was once more severe than this at 0.0C but I immediately picked it up with the throttle instinctively to prevent the stall, which it felt like it would've done if I were to leave it.

Anyway, take a quick look at my vid - is this normal or have I just grown accustomed to an underlying fault?

I consider yours normal. Your jump seems maybe 200rpm at most. Not too bad. Mine jumps closer to 1000rpm.
