Hi Allan
I'm sure that the suggestions regarding the hose conditions are important. I would adda couple of ideas (this means I don't know - these are guesses!)

There may be an interaction between the cold start devices (sensors & mixture enrichment devices) and the idle control valve. The idle control valve is a well known cause of idling probs, but usually manufests itself throughout the temp range - or even only when hot.

More likely - your idle problem is either to do with the mixture enrichment for cold start and/or the sensors which detect the cold start requirement.

If you can't find someone who can say thay KNOW what it is (try the E30 net in the US) then it would be best to take it to a workshop with the Bosch DME diagnostics and let them have it overnight to run checks as it performs the cold start.

Please let us know what it turns out to be!
