Hey to all the BMW experts. My concern with my BMW is on a dead start up the car starts with no problem but it shakes a bit and then it shuts off when the car is warm it's fine until I put it in park sometimes it shuts off or in reverse. Please help

It might be the VANOS unit malfunction known to the M52-TU motors.
