as the title states

The car has been in the garage now for a couple of weeks.
I started the car up and left it running for about 3-4 mins
when i came back i revved the engine while it was still in park.
when the revs would start to drop the engine/car would shake.

is this normal?

just a wild guess, does your car have a manual transmission

wait a second: does the rpm kinda dip below the normal idle of 700? sometimes the car when started when its cold and after a while, i notice the RPM needle dip down below 500, and this is after i reved it. feels like, if your car is a stick, that you have a noticable amount of vibration from the engine.

is this what your experiencing.

Happens with my car on real cold mornings and if i havent started it in a few days, as soon as i start it i feel the vibrations through the steering wheel, it sounds kind of irregular at first but sorts its self out..

I think its a bmw trait as a lot of people notice it.
