1988 528e Will Not Start

My girlfriend was driving down the road when the car stalled. She coasted into a lot and tried to start it back up but it wouldn't turn over. You can hear the starter turning, I can hear the fuel pump in the trunk, but it just won't turn over. We checked the fuses and battery and both are fine. We even tried using jumper cables for the heck of it. Any ideas?

p.s. oh yeah, there is a half a tank of gas.


Thanks

more info

I pulled the fuel line to the fuel pressure regulator and turned it over, boy did it pump out fuel! Does that mean the fuel rail is getting proper fuel? There was oil coating the main hose to the air intake though.

I replaced all the plugs since they looked pretty caked with corrosion. still, nothing.
