Interesting thread as mine is a 2009 and has a lumpy start up. Only lasts 20 secs or so. Mine is an AUC car so will have to get it in for a new glow plug unit...

Definately would be my advice. It looks like there is a weakness in this area, not that BMW will admit to this I'm sure! Beru aren't renound for quality product so this may well be where the weakness arises. The glow plugs are make by Bosch i believe, according to the online BMW catalogues.

The date is marked on my unit as you can see as April 2012 and it looks as if this is being a troublesome component again. I guess there is only a small amount of BMW owners that may pick up on this rough running problem... Most would probably just put it down "its a bit cold". I can't believe a unit would have issues again after just 6months!
