BMW 3 Diesel Struggling to Start Despite Repairs

Hi everyone, I own a 2005 BMW 3 with a Diesel engine and 117,220 km on the clock. I'm experiencing a persistent issue where the engine is hard to start, and it often drains the battery in the process. I've already replaced the glow plugs, the EGR valve, installed a vortex breather, and upgraded to a stronger battery, but the problem persists. It still requires a booster pack to start. I'm not sure what to try next. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Andy.
