Fluctuating RPM's

Sometimes recently when when I start the car cold the it does not want to idle, the computer will try to correct and I've got to give it a good rev to get it to idle smoothly. Also when I'm driving and I get off the Gas to decelerate the Rpm's will dive down to 300 or so rpms and shoot back up to where they should be.

This sounds like a Vacuum thing to me but what do you think?

It is a 2000 1.8 auto

I noticed with my 2008 M3 2.0L 5spd when i start my car when its cold the rpm's will fluctuate and have like a hard time keepind a constant rpm and then it will work its way to almost at 2000 rpm and hold there untill its warmed up a little bit then drop right below 1000. maybe this is the same problem?
