48i cold start problem?

The past two days have been colder than normal for winter in Charlotte, at least this year...mid 20s. My 08 48i has been hard to start two mornings in a row. The battery is a little bit older but it cranks really strong and shows no other signs of weakness, and after 30-60 seconds or so of cranking (on and off) it will start, sputter and die, and then eventually start and run perfectly. Plugs are a couple years old, the car is pretty well maintained with no obvious issues or codes from a Carly scan. After getting it started the past two mornings it’s run and started perfectly the rest of the day. Even after sitting for hours. Any ideas on this?
