Rough Cold Start ???
here's one for you.... everyday when i start my 04' 325i for the first time (cold engine) the car starts rough but every time i start it there after it starts and run smooth. it's summer so it's warm out.... now , im guilty of putting low octane in her, could that be the reason ? It runs way too smooth to need a tune up. hmmm |
