When I start the car in the morning, it sputters maybe once or twice and then starts. Had a new battery fitted 3 months ago

I only drive about 22 kms a day and the mileage is 104000 kms. What can the problem be? Thanks

    Hi Anonymous, we want to help you with your question, but we need more information from you. Can you please add details in the comment box?
    have you checked the oil level in the engine via the dip stick and also check the water level of the radiator. Had a car doing the same thing found it had low oil in engine. After I topped up the oil if starts much better.

    I topped the oil about a 2 months ago This model of BMW is supposed to indicate whenever you need to put in air, oil, water, etc. But I'll check the water anyway. Thank you for responding.

Clean the throttle body and MAF sensor if you have one. Replace the air filter. No year make or model.
