Quick note on this. Was messing with my gf's convertible top (1994 325i) since it's not working automatically. Couldn't get the top stowage to open, and gave up, but then afterwards the car wouldn't start. Tried a few things before reading this comment. Just locked and unlocked car twice and then it magically started. Not sure if the alarm light was set as I'm not sure the light even works. Wouldn't have thought to try it without your comment. Either way, thanks so much for the help 2 years later!
5.24.17 My E36 no start. You turn the key, you get nothing, almost like you have a kill switch, but I don't. MAKE SURE your battery is 100 %. I brought my battery to Sears and had it recharged and BINGO, it started right up. This was after I went two weeks with no start, no run. There are many things that cause this no start, but your BATTERY is number one on your list to check, and don't assume a trickle charge will do it.
mine did and it still does i have to disconnect and re connect each time. going to have to buy a new battery as well as key's and ews reset, ignition barrel and housing
ANY SMART BMW MECHANIC ,,, KNOW EXACTLY WHERE AC MYSTERY FKN AC FUSE #48 MIGHT BE BURIED ,, BECAUSE GERMANS DONT WANT YOU TO KNOW , 97 BMW Z3 1.9 ANYWAY I AM SELLING ALMOST 3/4 FIXED AND RESTORED 1997 Z3 1.9, STARTING TO DESPISE BMW
I actually just put a down payment on my 1995 bmw 318i and the lady said it's the starter relay switch.. I ordered one off of Amazon and it'll be here Monday I need help on trying to figure out how to change it and where is it located? please need help
My car would still do this due to improper terminal contact. Easy. Turn key all around just before start, remove any terminal, then reconnect terminal.
Ill have to try. Im having a similar issue. The car starts and runs but when i shut it off and try again it wont crank. Nothing but a click. Ill take off the ground on the battery reconnect and the same thing over again. It will run until i shut it off and then no more
before doing this try locking your doors with your key after you sit then place your key in ignition and start

My e39 540 wont even crank. Tried to jumpstart it, started for a bit but then stopped. Battery reads 10V
CHECK STARTER , ESPECIALLY IF BATTERY IS STRONG , EITHER THAT SON OF A BITCH IGNITION , OR STARTER IS DEAD
When you had this problem did your battery also drain?
mine did and it still does i have to disconnect and re connect each time. going to have to buy a new battery as well as key's and ews reset, ignition barrel and housing

Edwin Robinson if its an e30 it will be located in the fuse box or in a comparent in the engine bay near the windshiled
