When heading home we had one last stop at a supermarket and then she would not start , she was cranking rpm went up , but it did not start now i killed the battery from craning it up. Checked the fuel pump relay and that was fine... Now going to get a scaner and see what code it throws at me ill keep you posted if any update.

You should start your own thread, would help keep things organized.


Did you eat before or after the mall? Was the supermarket after that? How many people in 'the family'???


Just kidding.... It's funny but in an effort to provide details we kinda focus on stuff that doesnt matter...


Miles? Any history of prior issues or repairs? Let us know the codes.

Hello every one.. Well got me a everlast batery charger one of those smart ones at walmar for like 55 buks, charged the batery at 2 volsts solw charge all night till the indicator showed 100%charged, i put it back in the suv last night and closed the car, then guess what next morning got in and gave it a go and she turnd on... So i guess my batery is starting to die.. Its the original bmw battery guess its bean in the car for 11 years abut.. I did reed some place that if the battery is low it will carnk the engine but it wont be enough juce to prime the fuel pump or the coils.. Somthing like that so thats wat looks like what made her turn on again , will keep you posted if any other issue pups up.
