May I be the first to welcome you.

This should be in BMW

You need to use Full stops, commas etc.

Please break up your tale of woe into easily readable chunks.


I am only telling you this because you'll get a lot of stick for this so best you know now.

I'd suggest the starter motor, I had the same issues which went away after that was replaced (although first it had glow plugs, battery and a service which did not help)
