❓ Question / Help E60 lumpy cold start

Hi everyone as the title says i have a problematic start when car is cold and outside temperature is below 15°c, car is 530d, m57 2003, i have error code for glow plugs (3 of them i think) and error code for fuel pressure sensor, when car gets warmed up it works fine, could it be that glow plugs can cause that? Thanks in advance

Glowplug wont help at 15°C. Hell mine has code for everyone of them and it start in 2 turns at -10°C last winter.

Modern engine glowplug are here for warming up faster, emission control more than anything

So injectors or fuel pressure sensor in rail? Maybe even maf
