Car making strange noise?

I will be taking it into a mechanic, but my 2005 Mini Cooper has been making strange noises lately - usually when at idle, the engine begins to make a droning sound, and I can feel a change, a slight vibration. It stops itself once I get driving, but it will go off and on, sometimes not doing anything for a week or so, then it will go off and on for a whole day. Does anyone have any idea what this could be?
