[QUOTE="Game-R, post: 619087, member: 27709"] How many miles have your Beemer clocked? MAF sensors get problematic after a while and will induce the hot engine start problem which my E46 encountered. It's getting the fuel mix wrong which is why your engine can't start when hot. The other likely problem is the idle control valve, but you didn't mention of any idling problems before or after encountering the start problem. Ask a mechanic with a spare working MAF sensor to do a quick swap to test. [/QUOTE]
