Car won't start most of the times.

Hi there I have searched for the problem online before posting.

Basically the problem I'm having is that my 2010 320d won't start some times and soon as i use booster pack at the front of the car will start and will work fine for a few days.

I have just got the alternator and battery replaced. Still the same problem. Starter motor is fine got it checked.

I also read that if you disconnect the ibs lead the car will start. Which I did on sunday and the car was working fine until this morning had to use a booster again.

Would anyone know what the problem is or how I can fix it.

Thanks

You should do a scan with diagnostic tools. DISv57 or better yet Rheingold. Check for example if you've got something that could be shorting out or not shutting down draining your battery. Do you see the low battery warning? Any codes thrown?
