- Thank you for watching my video I really appreciate it I’m sorry if this video was a little bit confusing towards the end of it I was in a rush so if you have any questions or any concerns please leave them in the comment section down below I would definitely keep an eye on this video so I can get back to anybody that leaves a comment. but hopefully this video helps you guys out at least in some ways like I said I actually did the starter by myself unfortunately I didn’t make a video on it at the time but in the future I would definitely do a video and it on a different car that won’t be mine

Man your the only one to get to the point thank you.
My bmw 128i won’t turn on after having a problem with my battery it died and took it to autozone 3 days ago and now it won’t turn on. Thanks for the video helped a lot. Idk how anyone can dislike knowledge?
2.54 that click in the bendix on the starter it isn't pushing the starter gear into contact with the flywheel. Basically it's gone out of position. Sometimes if you can get a stick down into contact with the starter and give it a firm whack with a variable arc swing press ( hammer) [aircraft mechanic humoured lol] it will reset itself and you can get it started but the starter will have to be replaced.
Good video for people who don’t know about those symptoms, still searching for my issue though
I have a 08' 335i. I ended up paying $3,200 for a stereo system and because of that system the battery kept draining and for some reason that led to a new starter being needed. $1,800 dollars later I had a new starter put in and haven't had a problem since.. I know $1,800 dollars for a new starter replacement I basically got done with no Vaseline but the pain goes away with time, a year later I haven't had anymore problems with the 335
One thing to note is your power distribution board could be broke. This can apear like a flat battery. The starter soilinod and motor are on difrent circuits/ fueses.
I have a 118i E87 just had a new starter motor put in after my car literally died (dash everything when black) whilst i was driving it. It cranks but wont turn over im thinking it might be the fuse to the fuel pump since the mechanic told me they had to put fuel straight into the motor to start it but they also told me they think its the immobilizer. Would you know which fuse it would be. (I'm Australian if that counts)
I’m hoping to god it’s the starter, just removed my old starter, changed sparked plugs and ignition coils and new battery. Just waiting on new starter to be delivered tomorrow so I can install it 🤞…. If it doesn’t start I have no clue what it could be because I pretty much replaced a bunch of shit already. 😢
I disagree with a ton if things you said. If the light where you explained comes on its the starter? No sir. Didnt check ground at all did you? How about voltage drop test from negative battery post to housing of starter or engine block? Also, light coming on there doesn’t 100 percent mean that wire is intact getting to s post on starter.
You didnt do a voltage drop test on positive big cable at starter either..
Yo appreciate the video I made video of doing the starter yesterday took me about 45 minutes to do haven't uploaded it yet but will to help people out,but my car was doing something, I was at auto store I put new battery in and same thing happened click,but when I jump it it will start no problem, so I had them come out and check battery and while it was still connected it said battery no good! Mind you we just put new one in,so the guy grabbed another battery and said I tested it before he bought it out,so I put it in and something click,so I jump with my box no problem, go get the guy and can't find him so I said fuk it left,I ordered starter used oem put it in lastnight and same dam thing click,jump it and no problem I also noticed that my low beams stopped working everything checks out. I'm in a strange situation what's the odds no good battery but reads 12 and what's the odds starter no good,I will say when I install it and tried to start it it actually started up but only once after that back to clicking. At a loss right now any ideas bro appreciate it
Could be your frm module got fried
Hey man I did everything you said I’m getting power to the start with testing the wire to make sure I’m getting power I put a “new” duralast starter on it it cranked over one time and then dead after that I bench tested it and worked could I have a bad connection or just a bad starter that took a shit from the get go
Forgot about ews. It's common. Also bad regulator in altenator will cause no start sometime even voltage spike and take out the bsd generator in the dme that will cause a no start also. Bad grounds too. Many things that will cause a no start. And you can have power at starter and it still not work. Dme controls all. Mine voltage spiked and took out the ews and bsd generator in dme. Sometimes you even get the wires in the harness to ews come loose. Seen that befor too. As I said many things with these cars will cause a no start. I can list more lol
Dammm bro you should do a video. I only talked about what I’ve been through really and this is old now lol. I unfortunately have run into more issues
So I just left a comment to this to what happened with mine and still going on new battery and starter and still clicking also I put my charger on to check battery and alternator noticed mad spike all over the place but yet charger says good alternator,do you think that could be it alternator? Check my comment out let me know what u think if u don't mind,thanks
@@jtlracer0707check your body electrical ground cables.. replace all of them if you realize you dont have a proper ground or any ground at all. The way test is too use a wire tester and connect one end to the positive terminal of a battery jumper pack or an extra battery and touch the alteernator metal housing with the pointy end of the tester if it lights up then you have good ground if it dont light up at all it means you have no ground and you will have to replace electrical ground body cables. Goodluck
Thank you so much for this info!
Very Good video bro
I just picked up a 1998 540IM sport it’s got a wire hanging out of what looks like the valve cover gaskets I think it’s a ground wire not sure but when I put the battery in the car, it’s fully charged all the lights turn on, but nothing happensany ideas?
Very smart brother
Need help asap ,, 2011 bmw 328 I , engine turned off while driving , hasn’t started since , no check engine light but had a p0015 and replaced camshaft sensors and cleaned functional selonoids, still won’t turn over , battery drains almost everytime I try to start car , but I put battery in another car and works fine …. Won’t start if I jump it neither
Prexiate the video I realized it was the starter and paid 500 to fix it not bad at all
Have you ever had an issue where your car cranks and it wont start just cranks over and over. I thought it was fuel but I pulled the line of on the fuel rail and I have fuel. I pulled all the plugs individually and I have spark. It stalled out on me driving down the road
Yes my exhaust came bolt that holds the gear in snapped luckily no bent valves and a rocker was laying down beside the valve spring
@@paramjotsingh1989 Scan the codes to see if you get an immobilizer code. It might not show as a steady code, could only pop up while cranking like mine did. If you get the code in this manner, then the immobilizer is preventing spark. That can be reset with a scanner such as a Launch x431 or other advanced scanner.
@@paramjotsingh1989 did you find out the issue ?
yessss at 2:18 that’s the sound i’m hearing
It’s your starter
@@lifeofmario9137 yea, jus got it fixed
Seriously, thank you for this video!
I got a new alternator, battery and starter my 328 cut on but don’t crank what is wrong with it ? It won’t just crank on
You know what’s crazy, I was driving my 428i today and at a red light the car went to park mode by itself and the engine didn’t wana turn back on. Not sure if it’s my alternator or starter but I have battery in the car
Kinda feel like yours will be the starter if it doesn’t even crank when you push to start
And ATL SEAN. You most likely have a short somewhere. I would say a module got fried but I would need to know the back story on your car was it running. Is it a daily or just a weekend car. Has it been sitting for months? Did you just purchase the car?
@@lifeofmario9137 So some back story to my car.. I drive it daily but only 5-6K miles a year. I had to get my auxiliary fan replace/ also I changed my oil gasket and engine decreased.. as well as a new alternator and compressor. I got it back from the shop for some odd reason I felt the drive a bit off like stalling in a way, very tiny bit. It was just not the same way as I had it before I gave it to that shop. Another side note for some odd reason when I was driving on D, the car switched me back to neutral and wouldn’t let me switch back to drive until I pressed the start up engine then it did let me move the car.. I called the shop took it back they test drove it nothing happen it didn’t slip to neutral.. a day after going to work as I was sitting on a red light my car just went haywire again putting my transmission into park by itself and the engine turning off not letting me move it to neutral or any gear . (Automatic) That’s when it didn’t let me crank it or no response had to get a tow truck back to the shop 🤦🏻 Two messages showed up on the dash. “Starter/Ignition malfunction” and “Battery discharged, start engine” I really don’t know what it could be unless some codes are wrong , a bad alternator or my startup went dead. When the tow guy tried to jumpstart me no response from the engine. Wish me luck smh 🤦🏻 53K miles on it just paid it off too I really didn’t wana get a new car again
Yea it’s been sitting for months because I didn’t kno what the problem was I was told I needed a starter I put a brand new starter n battery in made it home cut the car off tries to cut it on the radio n everything cuts on but the vehicle won’t crank
this is a great video but someone told me if u have a bad CAS MODULE that a new starter will not turn over..do u
have any info on this..thanks 4 ur videos!
If u have a bad CAS module then the car won’t go to ignition mode cause the key can’t be recognized but if u can turn the ignition on then it’s not CAS module
@@stephenpeterson8694 I’m not able to turn my ignition on . But cas module okay . Just a yellow 🔑 key light pop up on the dash . No response from the start button
2 years later and this jawn clutch.
👏👏👏👏big. Boy. God bless you
goat status
Hey doctor how I have big in 328i 07?something draining the battery less than 10 minutes.do I have to change the foot module...
Thank you for tip to check starter. Could you please show me a picture for position of checking at green stater terminal ? I will check for power to my starter as well. My e90 320i would not start sometime as well. My km is about 16x,xxx km.
My car jus cranks over n over, this happened after I finished installing some new headlights
I would say disconnect them put the originals back in see if it starts like that could be that they are creating a circuit which won’t allow it to turn over something related to the computer
Hi there, i replaced my headlight and having the same issue, did you manage to fix it? Let me know much appreciated
Can I use a Digital multimeter to test that white wire?
My e87 118i had the exact same problem but after installing another starter, the starter would just swing but wont start the car
Did you end up figuring out what happened?
Yes...it was the 2nd hand starter that I installed, it was also faulty so I got the new one, its all good now.
Thanks Holmes.
Hi, I changed six spark plugs and two ignition coils on my e60 and a week later my car can’t start. It cranks but won’t start. Help please.
Same here still looking
Same here 2011 e90 n55 😅
my battery seems to be completely dead - I tried the trickle charger but when I charge it from the front or the back I hear a constant click click click click.. and some lights on the dash flash while clicking
You need a new starter
Mine would start when the car is cold. But if I drive it even 2 miles, park and run inside the grocery store. The car would make that click. I come back several hours later, car started right up. I can start the car multiple times in the garage without problems. I had the battery tested and they said, it was a little low (about 11.6v). I always keep the trickle charger on. I just checked my battery and it is around 11.8v. That is still low after coming off the charger. I was curious if yours started when the car has been sitting and only clicked when the car is warm.
typically starter
My doing the same problem
Did you ever find the problem? Mine doing the same thing. Turns on fine cold, but would not want to start after driving.
Thank you for this video . I really need your help . I have a 328 xi BMW But i can't start the car.
Have you tried jumping it?
My BMW 108 won't start after changing belt so reply .thank you
Subbed
Nice video what the sorc
Good job bro Thxs
What if there is no power going to the starter? I test the wire and it’s not lighting up.
Check your relays In the box your starter wire leads to. Follow it back toward the battery somewhere in between there is a loss in power
I have a 2011 328i and it start but it won’t turn over u have any idea what it could be
Did you get it to start. It’s most likely your starter
My e87 116i couldn't start in the morning, but after being jumped start by another car, it starts, do I need to focus on battery only or starter as well?
I’d say just your battery bro if it was your starter car probably wouldn’t have started at all
@@lifeofmario9137 thank you brother
i have 08 bmw 3series but in the mornings it wont turn on for anything at all. It turns on but they its turns off quickly. Is it the same problem as yours?
What can i do there to fix it? Is it a fuse ?
It sounds like it could be a fuse bro if Check that out first.
@@lifeofmario9137 the ignition fuse? Not a bro lol. Every morning i need to step on the gas a lil so the car can be kinda hot to be able to drive it.
My 06 325i won’t start. I’m following your which is good but my 325 doesn’t have a green plug lol, any appreciated thanks
What’s the issue you’re having and symptoms maybe I can help
06 325, does not start, no cluster lights but a key light, battery is fine so is the battery. Please help sos
Oh steering wheel is locked
I have 2006 bmw 325i just bought new battery new fuel pump still no start help🤦🏾♂️
Hey I'm haveing problem with my BMW 328i my ac went out bout June my radio isn't bright or working it quit but came on I left my door open yesterday and then went to start it bout an HR later and the lights come on but no starting I drove it that morning and it stopped later all the lights come on the head lights don't all the time and the volts read 12 is it my battery just to low to start or my starter no clicking I hear the file pump prime ziiit but nothing dosent even turn over please help I watch your videos think your awsome
I got you bro. I had pretty much the same issues. So try to jump your car first to see if you can even get it on. Use the two post in the front of your car and connect it to another car or jump box let it sit for 2 minutes and try to start if it doesn’t even try to start that means your starter is dead. If the car goes on. Then it’s the battery. If you haven’t replaced your battery in over 2 or 3 years it’s also time to replace it.
Angel Alvarez hey mate iv got a 12 plate 1 series hatch back and I use it for 15/16 hours a day doing rapid delivery’s basically shagging the car my fule was low I turned it from sports into eco and well it just cut off all the lights n that come on starter clicks but won’t start what could it be do you recon the timings skkipped ? As like a weep prior a warning came on every time I floor it saying drive train problem
abdul khan sorry to hear that my brother. To me it sounds like your fuel pump went out. It’s common for the fuel pumps to go out on these cars and it sounds that by the way you drive that could be your issue.
You gotta clean that thing bro. Lol. Thanks for the info.
I was man but it’s been snowing and raining just wait for the summer I used to detail Lamborghini and Ferrari’s
I just bought my moms 128 for my son’s first car. 2009 with 50k miles. It’s like new. I love it. It’s got the M package, even has the M steering wheel that has the displays in it. Carbon fiber mirrors and rear lip too.
Milliville I’m in Florida so I don’t have to worry about that snow. Lol
Woww lucky I can only imagine the conditions it’s in what color is it. Enjoy it man they’re such fun cars
It’s like a champagne greyish color. Same inside. I was gonna keep it for myself but just recently the 240 I built for my son got smashed into. So I’m gonna build another 240, turbo it, and keep it for myself.
I don’t know if u have the proximity entry, but if you do, when you put your hand on the door to open it, does it sometimes try locking itself again, instead of unlocking? Sometimes mine will do it three times in a row before it finally unlocks.
Try to unplug battery current sensor.ith happened to me yesterday .the cable from battery that connected to negative to positive.im not sure that calked battery current sensor cable.after I unplugged.my car starts now
It's called an ibs (intelligent battery sensor) do not leave it off for too long as its important for all the system modules etc
Hi I have a 116i bmw key comes on but I can't read my faults
I’m stuck with my 2010 335i it makes a buzzing sound when pressing start button but won’t start 🤦🏽♂️
Does it also make a click if so you need a new starter
@@lifeofmario9137 yes it does make that click thanks bro, also I ran her a bit hard the night before ran a couple people once I turned it off the started went out and wouldn’t start the car
@@lifeofmario9137 it has happened to me once already it started after 5 minutes of trying
Try to fix it that’s how I was for a week eventually it won’t start no more and leave you stranded
Also it’s not a hard job to do im sure if you have changed spark plugs you can do it yourself save yourself 400$+
my 07 E81 sometimes cranks and won't start even though it was working a while ego.....any ideas?
Ever find the issue
Never jump start a bmw in the engine bay
Only do it from your battery.also only do it if your ibs sensor is working and not unplugged
What’s the damage it causes?
@@b3mbeats905 spikes the ecu
i just bought a 328i and it don't start .. new battery in remote and i put it in push the start button and nothing happens but the windshield wiper go on.. wtf
This is upsetting. This sounds closer to a short, but start off by jump starting it or if you can charge the battery try that. Remove it take it to Autozone they’ll check the batter and charge it for you for free so does O’reilly
@@lifeofmario9137 i'm not that retarded i charged battery ..it's good :0) think a little deeper ..;0) i ordered a relay ..try anything
Explore Me I saw an another guys video that the CAS relay goes out. Basically the relay that recognizes your key. When this happens you will not crank or start. In his video wipers came on when he put the key in. Repay is in the fuse box in the glove box top right relay.

My 328i cranks but won’t start. Trying to figure it out 🤦🏻♂️
Ok so my car suddenly died on me and i didn’t hear my fuel pump turn on so I pulled it out and saw my pressure regulator came off . But some clamps on and fuel pump back in and hear everything turn on but when I try to start it it just cranks. I got 12 volts when the car is off and 12.6 when I have jumper cables on. It started one time but died right after and then I couldn’t even lock or unlock my car. Btw I tried starting my car about 10 times before disconnecting the battery and replacing the fuel pump
Shit nvm when I replaced my fuel pump the clip broke on the fuel line . It comes disconnected once my car starts. Hope this fixes any issues with anyone
My BMW 328i is not start same error message but does not work
Your starter went you need a new one
They told me it was the computer and apparently today the mechanic was able to turn it on but shift wasn’t working
@@sofiatovar9104 what ever happen to that?
Hey brother so was it a bad starter or dme?
It was a bad starter for me
my BMW 3 starting easily,,,problem is when I run @ 20 miles and more,,, and then if I stop car and switch off,,,then immigiate if I want to start ,,,the car do not start,,,but after 10 miniutes waiting it starts smoothly,,,,how can I fix problem,,,
Same problem with me pls help what can i do sir
I have a 03 530i no start no crank no nothing!!!!
I changed my starter and recharged my battery car only clicks no crank
Try hitting the alternator giving it two or three taps when you press the start button
Try disconnecting your IBS
Justbecause Alex did u fix it ?
Done the same thing, still getting intermitent start. Mostly click and no start
I just changed my batterie and starter like you did, no start either. I chequed the fuses and realay and they all work. ibs is off. Still nothing...

bmw x5 e53 3.0d cranks but wont start no pulse to injectors no fuel to injectors all 6 cannot be bad at the same time
Does it sound like it is trying to start but can't start? maybe crankshaft sensor?
nope injector has got pulse but no 12v and therefore no diesel is injected
@kitto computer or electrical issues
Did you ever find out what is was .. I'm having the same issue but it will still start it take afew trys . if it sits for afew days I have that trouble
Your dme and key might of lost sync with each other.you need a diagnostic machine to check further into it
And what if it has no power? Then what?
Then you probably have a short somewhere and need to follow the cables.
Yo bro what’d you connect the other end of the tester to? Damn wire ain’t long enough to put on the battery and reach to the front
My bad man there’s a little red cap that you can connect it to on left side right next to the shock mount. You take the cap off and that’s the red lead and your ground is a lil metal pole sticking out at the lower left side right next to a fender bolt.
