ALL OBD-I and OBD-II 3.0l and 3.2l engines experience this BY DESIGN. BMW
did this to meet certain emission requirements. The engines run like this
at cold start until the cat has heated up to the point of efficient
operation.
THE SOLUTION: DO NOT step on the gas for the first 30-60 seconds after a
cold start. Let the car warm up.
