    No start/intermittent start in hot weather

    My 2004 E53 X5 4.4L Sport will no start in hot weather. After a couple of tries it will start. In cold weather it starts right up multiple times no problem. I was looking towards th IVM which was a common problem. maybe the ECU fan motor. Anyone experiencing the same symptoms?
