What could this be? Any known issues on the X5M?

When up and running the cars goes with any problems. Just the start issue.

Thanks!
For me it was injectors. Cold starts were fine, but if the car sat for 2-4 hours, the start was horrible. It got progressively worse and I started getting smoke under very hard acceleration.

Finally brought it in and dealer said 3 injectors were faulty. CarMax warranty was going to cover the 3 injectors, but BMW replaced all 8 and plugs under goodwill. 2010 X5M w/ 52k miles.
