Default Engine "shakes" when thermo fan kicks in

Hi all,
Sorry for all the different threads - I figured it's better to make one for each of my larger issues.

In our AU Series 1 (i6), it's got a slight random shake at idle, but this problem is slightly different. When the thermo fans kick in, you can "feel" the engine engine shake or possibly lose power (?) for a second and then it's fine again. It's definitely noticeable when the car is sitting there idling and the fans turn on.

Now the AU has electric thermo fans, so I wouldn't have expected to feel anything at all with the engine when they kick in (apart from hearing the fan noise).

Does anyone else experience this? Is it normal? Or is there a problem somewhere? (i.e. alternator not supplying enough juice, bad battery etc)
