    Looking for a little input I have a 2005 m3 that is not starting. Battery has been on a tender, 12.4v. Turn the key, loud click not the continual click if the battery is low. System voltage drops to 6v. Same behavior with a jump hooked to the posts under the hood. I'm guessing starter motor. Thanks

    ( Solved ) Hi, I recently bought a 200k mile 2001 330i that came with no key. I, with the help of the internet and this forum, reprogramed the DME and flashed the EWS delete file. Now my e46 cranks but won't start. I should also mention that it initially did not want to crank ( starter just...

    Hello, I was hoping to find some help here before I take my 2001 BMW 325i sedan to a dealership to figure out what is wrong. A few days ago when I was leaving to work I unlocked the doors with the remote and when I turned the key it did nothing. It turned all the way but it didn't crank nor did...
  11. E46 XI
    Hi all, my 2003 XI has been having trouble starting for the past month. When it turns over 2 or 3 times, the 4th or 5th turn over will kind of choke and make a sound like a bad gear shift (It's an auto). Today, it did it's usual rough start but I aborted right as it was about to take off, and...
