Have you tried waiting 25 secs before cranking the engine?This is about the time the glow plugs take to turn off and will give you more heat to burn the diesel and start the car.

Havenīt tried that but will do. Does this glow period change with temperature or is it a standard 25 secs regardless? I didnīt know the glowing lasted that long. Always thought glowing stopped when light goes out. Thanks for teaching
With temps going way below zero F here in Norway during winter most diesel cars have a hard time every now and then. Mostly caused by dirty, clogged up and frozen fuel filters. Initially thought to be the problem with my car, but no.
The BMW guys continue their little investigation on my car tomorrow so crossing my fingers they will discover the reason. In the mean time my trusty 318i runs like a clock
Thanks a lot for taking the time powers1
