Poor cold start on 1990 740 GLE 16-valve wagon

When cold, I have to crank the starter for about 45 seconds before it starts, and then it does so very roughly. It remains rough until it's warm and then it runs normally & strongly.
The problem occurred out of the blue the following morning after a long drive.
There are about 155K miles on the car
