Hi guys,

My car is an X5 E70 3.0 diesel to begin with. It won't start or crank. The ignition turns on, all the lights etc work. but all I hear is a clicking sound when trying to start it.

Now here's the story.

Two days ago, I went to start the car and it wouldn't work. Same symptoms as above. Worked fine the day before. After a few times trying, I left it, went back home and went out again. Put the key in, but I noticed the clock was reset. And the car started! Confusing. For me, at least. I knew that the battery was weak, and it had been for a while, (I have ordered a new one) but it started... until now. The car won't start. Same symptoms again. Now what confuses me is that it won't even work with a jump start... Does that still mean the battery is weak or could it be the starter or the alternator?

Appreciate all the help!
