I am reposting this as I only recieved links to other sites on reply
.
Would aprecceate some actual feedbak...Thanks

I have a e34 520i (m50) the car started to have problems last winter
when it started to get cold it became increasingly hard to start in the

mornings and finaly refused . after changing coils,plugs unplugging
airflow (maf) nothing would help in the morning (would eventualy start
after a long time) finaly unplugged the crankshaft position sensor and
it started after about 2 seconds.( Ive been running likre this until
yesterday)I changed the sensor but it still doesnt want to start in the

morning unless I unplug it..(once warmed up I can plug it bak in and
starts and runs beautifuly) I dont know what else to do ´maybe change
the ecu or the relay (anybody have any ideas)

you are an idiot... I gave you a link to the answers and you complain!
Join bimmer.info, and all the mechanics there will help you out!
it is a far bigger community than this group.
If you think it is advertising, good luck getting through life blind.
Now you make a whole new post about the same thing because "no one held your
hand and fixed your fricken car"
get a grip

Ahem.

When it doesn't start what's it not getting? Spark, air or fuel?

It sounds like there is spark (it kiks up every so often ) but it seems
more like the computer doesn't tell the fuel pump to send fuel., but I
am not a mechanic so i don't really know for sure, If I try for too
long to start it with the crankshaft sensor plugged in the I started to
smell gas in the winter but now I just unplug it ,start the car and
plug it bak in (the crank-sensor)there's just too much goin on with the
computer and vanos etc..
(I miss my old mercedes,over 340k miles on it and no probs) oh well the
bimmer is a bit more fun to drive.......maybe its cuz i'm so feakin
happy it actualy starded!...:)
anyways bak to the subject...I removed the ecu(dme) today to try to see
if there was maybe a bad connection but it all looks quite
clean,however I couldn't open it to see if there was something wrong
inside as I dont have the wright tool to open the box ,gonna try
2morrow to buy the right size key>

BTW:I did try to go on that e34 website but I couldnt make an acct,
for some reason there was a box with some text I was supposed to see
but there was nothing there ,some sort of protection against automated
enrollment...maybe its cuz I'm in sweden at the moment....
