I’m new here so Hoping I’m posting in the right forum… I am looking at purchasing a car for my daughter and I found a 2006 525i that, at first glance, appears to be in decent enough shape but is having an ignition problem that I’m not familiar with. I purchased a 2006 325i for my son and tore...

Well, my car won't start. Cabin lights have power, as do trunk interior lights. Drove it yesterday. When I turn the key, nothing happens. Absolutely nothing. What should I check? Sound like a fuse issue? Any advice appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, On May 23rd this year, I was trying to start my BMW e60. I just heard a buzzing sound in the engine bay and it wasn't cranking nor starting. I suspected that my starter was faulty. On May 25th, I contacted a mechanic he told me to knock the starter or put the car in Neutral and push the...

Hey guys i got a 08 328xi sulev and it intermittently misfires on cylinder 6. Sometimes on cold starts it does, sometimes it doesnt. If i dont let the car warm up for at least 10 minutes it begins to misfire while driving (even if i shift below 3k and accelerate slow). On super cold mornings...

1991 325i E30 just came out of the shop a few months ago running like a champ. It has sat now for 4 or 5 months. Went out to crank and got no power but battery was really low. Charged it to over 13 volts and also ran jumpers just to see if it would light up. Still completely dead, no lights, no...

I have a 2001 E46 325 Ci. I was having a heater issue, so went through the fuses to see if I had a burnt fuse. After checking the fuses, the car no longer turns over. Putting the key in position one and two is all normal with power and associated lights, but nothing when I turn to start. I...

Hello all, I am a new member, with a new (to me) BMW, and a number of the previous owners issues (like many here). I purchased a 2004 ...... wait for it..... 745I N62B44A :yikes::yikes::yikes: as my first personal vehicle (ive shared for years, but never enjoyed my own). I know, from reading...

So I picked up an 07 328xi, car has been very reliable to me. Runs Drives and looks great. Now when you insert the key there is the buzzing of a relay inside of the fusebox under the passenger glovebox. The car sometimes will grind the starter during cranking as if you are starting an already...

Hello everyone merry Christmas :):thumbup: Today my car wasn't starting. There was no turn over. I had EWS issues in the past so I went to check if the door chime and key in ignition warning on the cluster board was lighting up when I opened the door and it wasn't. Then after some testing...

If the immobilizer is active (armed), does the engine turn over (cranking but not starting) when you insert the key and try to start it? Or nothing would happen (as in no crank, just the dash lights)? Thanks

I know I've already posted on this but so far no joy so I thought I'd post a video - maybe prompt someone? https://youtu.be/vorkrnNch-I If anyone can shed some light on what is going on - and perhaps even more importantly how to fix it that would be great. As I said in the video the car...

The car is a 2007 3.0d X5 with 104,000 miles. The problem.... Up until yesterday inserting the key in its slot lit the dashboard and then a quick press of the start button and away you go. All of a sudden - nothing. Insert the key in the slot and nothing. While waiting for recovery yesterday...
