Bmw E30, 316, 55 kw, 1987, M10 with carburater

After cold start engine runs like on 3 cylinders. Its like there is no gas so I have to press gas pedal. Engine takes gas but still runs very bad and out of exhaust system I can see black smoke.
As temperature rises engine runs smother I'd say normal. Stil after longer driving on higher rpm inside exhaust pipe is black.

First check and replace the spark plugs, I suggest having a compression test done at the same time to make sure the piston rings arent bad.
Next, youwill ahve to clean and service the carb because is sounds like its not getting the right amount of gas. 
If the car always runs poorly it is most likely the timing belt that is bad and will need to be replaced
