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.

Check the condition and connections of the battery cables and terminals for any corrosion or looseness, as poor connections can lead to starting issues. Ensure they are clean and tightly secured. Let me know if this helps or if you have any further questions!
