09 528i start issues
Good Day Guys,
i have 09 528i xdrive with 35K miles on it that i am having issues with. only in the morning when i try to start the car, it looks like it is starting up but does not start up. then i open the door and close the door and then try to start, it starts up and once it is started entire day car is fine. i can turn off and turn back on without any issues. this only happens in mornings and that too sometimes.
i looked around some threads and came to conclusion it might be IVM. so i went to BMW for IVM, they looked at my VIN and told me my car does not have IVM.
i do not want to change some parts that are not needed to be changed i.e starter or battery or fuel pump etc...
please guide me in correct direction.
Thank you in advance.

I think it is too. I would realign the CAS first and if it does not fix then try an update. My car had starting issues and I thought it was the CPS. It turned out that I had accidentally messed with the CAS when I was trying to troubleshoot trans faults. Once I realigned everything was fine. Of course a different situation than the OP.

Only 27K thats crazy. Is it not under warranty. I do not know anything about Carly I have the INPA software suite which can do almost anything I need it to do.
