1987 325i Runs Rough Cold
I have an '87 325i convertible (122K). It runs rough when it first starts up, missing and sputtering a bit. After it warms up, it runs fine.
If I start it up and drive to the gas station - 3-4 miles - it will run rough on the way. I shut it off, put gas in it (the car will sit for 5-10 minutes) and start it back up, it runs smooth.
If I don't stop for gas, and drive past the station, it's another 3-4 miles before it smooths out, so it's something under the hood that needs to get hot.
Coil?
Regulator?
Wires?
Distributor?
O2 Sensor(s)?

whatever you do don't start replacing stuff...
do basic tests. first on the list would be the low and high temp switches, next test your oxygen sensor. if it only happens when the engine is cold how could it be due to an intake manifold leak? you mean the leak fixes itself when the engine gets hot? :))
