(2008 BMW 118d) Hello. I have a problem with my car, it wont start. The engine cranks sometimes 0.5 sec and sometimes 1.5 sec and it gives up. And i have no idéa what it is. I replaced my battery 3 months ago so that shouldn't be the problem and the car doesn't warn for bad battery charge.
This problem happend 4 weeks ago and it took like 15 tries for the engine to start, and this was going on like 2 days but i could start the engine after 10-15 tries and then the problem went away and i didn´t think much about it, but now the problem is back and i can't get the engine to start at all.
I tried and checked the fuses for the fuses related to "Start and stop" and i checked the 20 amp fuse for the engine.
And i tried to connect the battery directly to the start motor with some separate wires and the start motor just went on cranking but the motor didn't start.
I captured a video and posted it on Youtube so you could see for yourself.

I am very thankful for all the help i can get.
Thank you very much
Sincerely Viktor
