Hm, could be worse I suppose, thanks for the help BTM!
anyone confirm if that truly is the fuel regulator?

I'd try a tank or two with some techron concentrate before I blew dough on an unconfirmed part.

Prime the pump ..
Priming the pump this way solved any cool weather start-up roughness I encountered with my M-Coupe.

Just a few seconds (5) is plenty.

The only other part on there I found that sounded close was a control unit for about $270 I think. But it sounds like your car just doesn't like the cold and didn't like it more than usual that day. Hopefully it was an isolated occurrence. |

So I monitored the problem over the weekend, and everything was fine. I filled up the tank yesterday, and as soon as I started the car the RPMS's shot up and then down...didn't stall, but almost did.

Update: Didnt have any early classes this morning so i started the car around 2:00PM when it was nice and warm outside, RPM's did not drop nearly as much, barely a studder in fact so I am going to assume it is indeed the engine being very Cold in the morning that is causing this behaviour.
I'd still like to hear of your experiences though and if there are any problems with the fuel regulator pump.

I'm having the same issue intermittently. Start up the car and the rpms drop then stabilize. It has been very cold lately. Anyone found any solutions? normal?

mine still does this once in a while, not as much since switching to Shells 91 compared to Sunoco/Petro Canada's 94

I find mine seems to stutter a bit after starting when the temperature is in the -10°C to +5°C range. If I press the throttle down 10mm or so before turning the key, it never has a problem. At temperatures from -35°C to -10°C it doesn't need any throttle, but it does sound like a can of bolts being shaken around when starting it below -20°C

My 2007 z4m was at the dealer for almost 2 weeks for the same problem... I have the last update but, after changing the MAS, it did not fix the problem. The software is up to date. They told me they know when its colder the melange do not have enough gaz (air is denser). They cannot do anything other than suggest me to give some gaz on before starting the car....BM do not expect to make a new software update as the car is not sold anymore. They also told me they looked at the spark plug and, i could change them. They have seen sometimes it fix the problem . Mine is 36000 km.

Yup! In addition turn the key on to pressurize the fuel system prior to cranking.

This didn't help at all. When it's really cold it still will drop the rpms for a sec then come back. Besides this I'm seeing no other issues.

Try fuel as others have suggested.
