I'm now parking my car on a sloped driveway and this delayed start is more predominant. I associated it with my now 2yr old plugs, but I'll park it in a different place and see if the starts change.
This is a nice thought, specially since the frickin' cold start force the engine to run 1500 RPM right away (agree with e92zeero, can't do any good..). Guess the ECU easily could do the job of holding spark depending on oil pressure, should BMW want to?
