	I own a 1980 BMW 320i.  I take it in for its regular service
about every 5000 miles.  What I've noticed is that after a while 
(appx. 3500 miles) the engine runs at low revs when first started,
and has very low power.  I live in California, Land of the Sun, and
so cold is not the problem.  And it always starts right away.  I just
have to drive it several miles before it has any power.  This is
uncomfortable in dangerous intersections.  Hit the gas, and the engine
almost stalls!

	Ideas?
