HELP!!! M3 will not start COLD unless i disconnect battery for 10-20 minutes.
Ok here is the long battle i have had with this car since i have had my Rod bearing Failure. I have recently gotten a new engine with only 10k miles with high performance bearings. Now i have a new issue seeing as my Car will not start if left overnight, it just brings up engine and traction warning lights on dash and idrive warns- reduced power, Engine malfunction , DSC, DBC. However if I disconnect the negative terminal for 20mins it starts perfectly and runs fine. If I turn car off and it is not warm anymore I will turn over and just die. I have replaced the DME and throttle actuators. I'm at a loss. Once the car is warm it runs fine. i can get gas and it will start right back up. the codes are trying to say its my throttle actuators but i took the ones off my old motor and put them in my new on and i have the same issue and i know that the ones in my old motor work because i never had the limp mode and when the car runs even the service light goes away. The code throws when i first try to start. Also the Throttle Actuators would not prevent the car from starting correct?

You should pull the exact codes to know whether or not it's the TA's or something else.

m3 wont start unless i disconnect battery
So when my mechanic pulled the codes they were pointing TA which i replaced but once the car starts there is no limp mode. The car runs fine even when im driving the service light goes away. i still even have my TA from the 10k motor because i am not convinced they are bad i dont want to pay bmw for new ones if the issuse is not going to be fixed. Maybe a ground wire is loose i am at a complete loss.

Isn't there a recall for the battery cable?

It is but maybe it's for certain years? I'm scheduled for Thursday, was supposed to be last week but I got busy.

I could be wrong, but in my experience a battery on its way out causes all sorts of problems on BMW's without giving you correct codes. Its a free check, 14.4 running 12.2 engine off. If you can confirm that it's one thing off the list.

Are you scanning it with a BMW specific tool (Inpa/GT1/etc)? or just a Generic obd2 scanner?

In these type of scenarios I usually have good luck with replacing the IBS cable on the battery. The car monitors voltage when the car is asleep. If you're only having problems when cold after sitting for a while, that's where I look first. Bad battery or bad IBS cable.

the mechanic i had it at turned me away because the dme was not the issue and he was not trying to be finically liable for for trying to figure out the problem i have not tried to wiggle the cable. i will ask them about the cable for the battery i am going to brake down and take it BMW today and hope they can figure it out. when i drive the car the service engine light even goes away . Also if i take a test light to the battery and put the negative back on afterwards the car starts right up every time.

I didn't find out from a link I got a phone call from local dealership and I believe others here have as well. Maybe someone here who got it done can provide you with the Recall Code, otherwise I can tomorrow night after I get my car done.

I would answer the question I posted above. I bet you it's the connections by the power terminal - one of the posts is hooked up wrong.

That post must not be hooked up. I bet you the wire is going there instead. Check and report back. Positive wire on bottom post. If it's on the top that's your problem guaranteed. Rookie mechanic mistake.
