Default S5 with morning body shaking

anybody experiencing body-roll violent shaking when started in the morning?? My S5 rocks like a boat for about a minute, once it warms up it goes away. When this is happening I feel like the car is trying to breath.. i wonder if it has to do with the exhaust system?

Try to VAG it and see if the car is throwing any codes.

I had that half a year ago and took it to the dealer who flashed the ECU and that mitigated the problem. They made me run a fuel additive cleaner first, however, which did not fix it.
