Your TPS and Min Air is out of adjustment. No big problem.
Follow this procedure to the letter. It will get you fixed up.

Not awake yet!
Yes, same procedure

Ya never know about sensors...good one day, bad the next. It's defiantly worth the effort though

Sounds like sticky IAC. Remove it and clean it up/replace it and then do the set procedure for it.

after adjustment the car idles ok. but sometimes shakes little bit so next step is to clean the IAC.

but in my opinion the problem happened when I take the battery off the car to recharge when I parked car. Looks like the memory in ECM is not good and ECM lost the sensors data? ECM replace?

EDIT: can sticky and clogged IAC can cause slow reaction to gas pedal? I also have a 99 M5 and gas reaction is totally different.
