Ruh roh... So recently I noticed that our X5M does a 'slow' start as well. It seems to crank ok, but it sort of stumbles on initial start, almost making you feel like you want to tap the pedal and help it get up to idle speed. I did notice a fair amount of soot as well, but wasn't sure if it was just because it was an M thing or not...

After reading this thread, I'm concerned that I need to start discussing with the dealer on this. Would you guys agree that a slow/weak startup would be this same issue? It doesn't do it all the time, but typically after driving a bit. We do about 90% city driving.

The hard part is that I just left home for a couple months for work. I have to leave my wife to handle this and hope the dealer doesn't try and blow her off...
