back to basics bud, last week or so someone did the intake gasket thing and guess what? One of the gaskets slipped while installing and he didnt catch it. Bad things like that CAN happen.

Probably a far cry, but you may have a fried DME. Anybody nearby you that you could quickly swp them and try it out. I know there are some bulletins on older 525's with cold start issues, dont remember if it covered other E34's. It involved and EPROM chip upgrade/ replacement becuase of a fuel mixture that was waayyy too rich at cold start. I would definitely look at DME if youve done all the other basics already.
