I'll get me a Honda loanmower that is supposed to be the top of the line. BMW doesn't do any loanmower?
Sounds like the coil is weak or shot or your fuel pick-up is plugged. Take the plug out, put it back in the plug boot, set the plug electrode against the engine near the plug hole and watch for a spark by the electrode when you pull the engine over. If there's no spark then you know it's the coil, switch, wiring or even the new plug is bad. If you have a spark, pour a few drops of gas in the plug hole, put the plug back in and see it it fires. If it does and doesnt keep running then your fuel pickup is plugged in your tank. Dump the fuel you had in there out and start with fresh gas (no stabalizer). Let us know if this works.
