Hi Pietro. Thank you very much for your reply. Yes, I should by better diagnose tool, I have a DELPHI...
Battery and alternator voltages are correct. But you just "confirmed" my theory: 2 Glow-plugs burned, which caused a short under or over voltage, which triggered the first few diagnose error codes. (I deleted all of them, drove already more than 1000 km, and only 2 glow-plug errors are coming back.)
Glow-plug relay was exchanged 2 years ago. At that time, as you said, the error codes of all 6 glow-plugs were always there.
I agree with you now: it is not the DPF... But I do not agree with you that the Check engine light will definitely go on.
I really have a lot of mileages on my car (~500.000 km), so the DPF was already clogged once. No Check engine light came up. I just lost the power, was able to drive max 80 km/h. I was on high-way, pressing the accelerator pedal was actually acting vice versa.
But anyway, thank you very much for your replay!

Regarding the DPF, that's weird, mine Check engine light came on with an iDrive message "Emissions fault" maybe we have a different year or maybe different software version

Regarding the diagnoistics tool - buy an K+Dcan cable (I bought mine from Amazon for like 28USD) without the software and then downloaded software from internet (Mike's easy BMW tools & ISTA+)
