First, check your spark plugs and ignition coils as these are common culprits for a rough idle in BMWs. If those are in good condition, it's possible that the vacuum lines or mass airflow sensor could be causing the issue. I would recommend getting a diagnostic scan done to pinpoint the exact problem.

It could also be a problem with the fuel injectors. Try using a fuel injector cleaner to see if that helps improve the idle. If not, it's best to take it to a mechanic for further inspection.

In my experience, a dirty throttle body can also cause a rough idle in BMW 1 Series. Try cleaning it with throttle body cleaner and see if that makes a difference.
