I don't think your trouble is on the ignition side of it but I am sure that you must have a look at the idle speed control(stepper motor).
If with temperatuer your "misfire"changes to better, it means that it's probably running too lean at cold, normally the stepper motor or ISC does this job.
Let us know how you get on.
Cheers.

I,m not a BMW guy but it sounds like it could be a couple different things, a stuck open fuel injecter, or fuel pump problem, or even a fuel pressure regulator. I had a 97 tahoe and the pressure regulator was defective it caused my engine to hydro lock, which is the same as vapor lock but a fluid cuases the engine to lock , caused by fuel or antifreeze in my case it was fuel.
