Car jumping forward?

Hi all. I was wondering if anyone has experienced this. It seems to only happen when I first start the car up on a cold morning. While sitting there in park, the car appears to be rocking and wants to lunge forward while it is in park. It appears the only reason it is not going anywhere is because it is in park. It will not do it after driving a while and the car is warmed up. I first thought it was the wind blowing the car. ( that is how subtle it is) but I felt it the other morning with No wind. Anyone else seem to feel this? My car is a 2015 35i Z4. Thanks.

If it's 35i, it has to be the DCT.

You know, now that I think about it, it no doubt has to do with the lack of a torque converter and the clutch(es) in the DCT dragging a little in park.
