328i Trouble

This weekend I went for a trip down to Belgium to get some beer and my car (1996 328i) did fine the entire 2 hour trip. When I made it into Belgium I stopped at a store and when I went back to my car it wouldn't start. No check lights are on and it turns over when I try to start it just fine but its like its not getting any fuel. Any ideas as to what could be wrong?

Try jumping the fuel pump relay to see if it is that first.. since you think its not getting fuel. Gotta start somewhere.

I'd check the fuel pump fuse first. Pretty strange, though.

Alright I will give that a shot. I was also told to replace the fuel filter. Hopefully it works! Thank you
