Kyle, I have an 82 240D & have similar problems. I replaced all the glow plugs this fall, but that didn't help. I'd suggest checking the valve adjustment. I did that last weekend & so far it's MUCH happier!! Many of the clearances were tight causing low compression & hard starting when cold. Right now my alternator is going south so I won't get to try leaving it outside overnight to see if the adjustment was enough to make it start in the cold or not for a couple more days, but the other day it was below 20F all day while I was at work & I didn't start it at lunch. When I started it after work, it took three tries, but it fired up!
