I am also reading, starting a flooded (and bore washed) BMW with WOT is wrong because newer BMWs (even 2000s) do not support that procedure. I may be simply flooding the engine again by flooring the gas pedal which may or may not explain the fire out of intake. When my wife was trying to start without WOT, it would not start but there was no fire or noise from the engine other than the usual turning sound.
Cheers,
Ozzie
