<< My '86 535i 151kmiles takes a long time to start in cold weather.
 In 30 deg weather, it takes 10-15 secs cranking before the engine would 
start.
 With the single degree weather this week it takes 3  cranks (10 secs each 
time) to start.
 The idle is also rough until the engine warms up.

   Check the thermotime/temp sensors...  The ECU might not be getting the 
info it needs to fire the cold start injector... Failing this, move on to the 
cold start injector itself (underneath intake manifold - PITA to get at...) 
check the connector for voltage, if yes, try the cold start injector's 
flow...   

(Just some thoughts to get you "started...")
