Hello all. Haven't posted much (if at all) but i do creep a lot looking for information - like a trailer hitch install
The x3 has been sitting in the drive way for weeks. I got the thing with 100k on it and has 104k now a year later.
The dealer replaced both camshaft sensors, battery, and vanos solenoid at time of purchase. The whole time the car had a very slow crank when starting. I read about a possible software update that would fix the issue. A whole year went by and never had issues so never worried about it.
i did replaced the alternator in that year as a precaution incase the battery wasn't being charged.
at my friends the x3 died. had to take the tow of shame home. FFW 4/5 weeks i actually got time to do the starter. Put everything back together and it still won't crank. talked to my dealer and they said they have seen the oil level sensor cause random issues. replaced that...still absolutely nothing. I have the x3 hooked up to the e46 for extra juice but still nothing. I tried reading engine codes but my peake reader is giving me an E10 error which basically means the car isn't on...but it has power and is on. The battery reads 12.8 which should be more than enough to crank the thing over. I am really out of ideas and if anyone can help that would be awesome.
