Mini 2004 S Starting issues
 
On my 2004 S the first time I go to start it in the morning it starts hard and runs poorly for a couple of minutes. Then clears up and is fine the rest of the day. Then it starts over again the next day?

Weather conditions ?

it's been cold 30deg and higher but it doesn't matter cold or warm wet or cold it acts the same. I have it in the repair shop they tell me it's bad injectors leaking into the cylinders.

I was thinking either the cold start enrichment circuit or bad injectors

I looked at the plugs they were fouled and you could see that the cylinders were wet. So I guess replacing the injectors is the right step. all be it not cheap.

shop around many are upgrading stock injectors on the cars to larger might be able to find a set on ebay ect
