water/condensation/damp in the distributer cap, esp if its been sitting a while.
take it off, get it completely dry inside and check the contacts.
if that's not it then keep asking!

Runs fine when the engine is cold then goes crap once it gets warm... thermostat maybe?
Would have thought if it was damp it would run like crap from the start?

The best place to start would be on a 7 series forum.
Now get off the zone before you infect us all
What about taking it for a drive and thrashing the crap out of it to clear it as it's probably never gone over 3.5k rpm
Does it have a cat ?

Got to be temperature related so check all the sensors.
Does the air intake have all the correct bit's (airbox, ducting) ?
What's the filter like ?
