NY Vibrations, rough idle when cold

Any idea what might be the problem here? I get vibration mostly when cold which fades away as the car is geting warmer. Can feel the vibration right below me. This cause rough idle also which gets better again as the car gets hot. The car is MT. Thanks for your help guys.

Clean your MAF sensor and make sure your air filter is also clean.

I was looking at the forum and found all the new and older TSB. One of them is talking about broken engine mounts. Vibrations might be related to broken engine mounts. Take a look, you have nothing to loose.
