Any car people out there,,,,i have a BMW e30 318i,,,,i started it last week and i started on the first go,,,,,

Question

i drove it for about 3mins to the petrol station,,,,where it stopped,,i cranked it but it wouldn't start i repeated this process untill the battery seemed to loose power,,,i then tryed to roll it down the hill to slam it in second gear,,still didn't start,,,well i parked it and i do believe it's electrical,,,if it's the coil would that prevent it from starting????? the battary is dead now but what else could it be,,,the car just got serviced and since i have had the car i have never had this problem,,,,,

Answer 1

if it is the coil it would not start , however it could be a number of
things , check all leads are on properly , its hard to advise not knowing age of car , if fuel was very low before you filled up
you may have had muck in tank which would cause blockage,

Answer 2

Had a BM 7 series which I didn't use for more than a month. It wouldn't start also. The fuel pump got stuck and had to replace it. Same problem as yours, perhaps?

Answer 3

Start with the basics. Check fuel pressure and then for spark.
