Anyway,
Went to the dealership several times for the problem. Nothing found.
After several similar complaints form other clients my mechanic found the problem: the gasoline.
I always buy the 91 Shell.
He suggested the higher 94 octane from other providers like PetroCanada and Esso (Shell doesn’t have it).
He was right. As soon as I put 94 the issue was gone. All the customers that complained with this problem -including M vehicles- solved the issue with a higher octane. All of them complained about the same behaviour in cold.
Hope it helps!

I always put 91 Octane fuel from Costco on my X1 or M4 and I don't have any issue. I put the 93 octane only when I travel to the US
