My experience has been that a "regular" car will not have the amps needed to turn over a diesel. The one time I was stranded in my 240d , the tow truck had 2 batteries in parallel plus charger to give me a start after a good citizen tried w/o sucess. My battery cables were not that heavy duty which could have contributed to the problem.
