Hi
my '87 350i always turns over for around 5 seconds before actually starting, as anyone else experienced this with their wedge.?
It happens all the time (hot or cold)and has done it all the time i've owned it, all usuall electrical items, plugs,leads, dist cap,battery etc have been replaced along with the fuel pump and filter etc
Any ideas out there?
Many thanks

Anyone in particular to suspect, or could it be anywhere?
