Struggles to start after a while

My wife has a 1 series 1.6 petrol e87 2008 with only 58k and after driving and then after a few hours it struggles to start. It starts without issue when cold or within minutes after stopping when warm but in a window of about 2 hrs plus until the next day it hesitates to start but does start and then runs fine. I've changed spark plugs, which were black, ignition could see fine with each measuring 1 ohm. Cleaned the MAF but don't think that's the issue. I've pulled the injectors and each seems fine; squirted wd40 to see whether there is a leak but all seems ok. One other thing, the start stop no longer works for the past few years where the starting issue has become progressively worse but could all of this be related, I'm thinking it's a separate issue. Can anyone advise?

      Folding mirrors

      My X6M has folding mirrors, operated from the normal button, situated on the drivers door arm rest. They don’t fold in when I set the alarm, having read the manual, there’s a setting in the idrive to activate this function but when I scroll down the menu, this option isn’t there. Can the software be updated to add this feature, surely if the button is there and the mirrors are folding ones there must be a solution, or am I missing something completely Thanks in advance

      U06 Active Tourer Mud Flaps what are the part numbers

      Hi Richard Welcome to the Forum Sounds like BMW have decided you shouldn't go near any dirt or mud in your 220i Touring 🤣 That leaves little choice really. have you thought of checking Mud Flaps from either the 1 series or 3 series cars it may be they can be modified to fit ? If not it means the after market accessories have you Googled to see what if anything comes up Good Luck with the search Dave
