Re: bmw 318 1996, starting problem when warmed up
I had a real weird problem with an old Audi~ wouldn't run when it was dark. After fiddling around with things , I discovered that-after the ambient air temperature fell below 90F ( I live in Phoenix, Az. and this happened in the summer when daytime highs reach 115F), it quit. Turned out to be a fuel pump relay that didn't like it below 90F!! I believe that you have something that doesn't like to start when the engine temp is hot. Don't know enough about the system off hand to point you in the right direction but I think it is a temperqture related problem.
