M3 e93 mysterious issue

Hello All,

Has anyone had an issue like this.

A small oil leak at top of engine was observed so the plastic engine cover was removed. Injector harness unbuckled and the leak repaired with a new seal.

Everything was put back together.

PROBLEM.......

When ,starting the car, the engine would start for a second then immediatly die. BuT if the battery is disconnected for 10 min or so then reconnected the M3 starts fine and drives normal.

What could this weird probkem be?

Any suggestions woukd be much appreciated.

Cheers
