Hey

so im new here,So if im posting in the wrong place i apologise in advance

My 1989 e30 has a really rough Idle and and has normally a bad cold start at time i was wondering if people new anyway to fix the idle so its more steady and how to get a better cold start? roughly takes around 5 seconds or 6 to start.Also the car chucks out a lot of smoke when started and its not burning oil and isnt gas burning im completely confussed.Also has a horrible metal sound coming from engine like metal on metal

i have attached a link to a video of the car starting and idle hopefully you guys can help

thanks!
