Default B8 Hard Starting When Hot

I've had this issue pretty much since I got the car. It always fires right up when it's cold, but it usually has to crank a bit before it starts when it's hot. Sometimes it'll seem like it's catching, so I let off, but then it doesn't start. It never starts and dies, it just doesn't start until it's cranked for a bit.

Reading about some E34 540i's there's something about heat soak or something due to where the starter is positioned. Would it be something similar on this car? Other suggestions?
