Its just what the diagnostic computer is showing. You mentioned excessive white smoke. I could be wrong but this could be the turbo bearing failure and engine oil gets into the combustion chamber. Also mentioned is the glow plug failure, this could be ther reason why the car can't be started as there is no combustion or not enough heat for combustion but later it can be started. So its an intermittent problem. My 2 sen advise is to go to a BMW Specialist and treat the problem 1 by 1. I think its the turbo bearing failure as oil has entered the combustion chamber and could clog the glow plug and once you get combustion the oil is also being burnt with the diesel and therefore the excessive white smoke. Maybe you need a turbo rebuild and to clean the glow plugs.Whats your mileage now?</blockquote>
