It might be water in your gas tank. I had a similar problem occur a couple of years ago as I was filling my '89 740. (I think I had water that settled in the bottom of the tank and filling the tank mixed it up with the gas.) The engine ran very rough for a few minutes then it smoothed out and ran fine. I added a can of gasoline additive to the tank that removes water and have not had a problem since.
