The various air intake hoses on BMWs tend to deteriorate with age and exposure to ozone and oil.
Check carfully under the air intake. Remove each hose if necessary.

Also, carbon build up on the intake vlaves will also produce the problem you are describing. When enough carbon builds up the carbon absorbs the gas until it is saturated at which point gas goes in the engine but when the engine attempts to start the vacuum created in the engine sucks the satruated gas in the carbon flooding the engine. Try running Techron or if severe have the vavles blasted with walnut shells. Also, there are cleaners used by professionals which bypass the fuel system and do a good job as well.
