2007 e92 won't start, no crank, battery is good. HELP - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

mikayls101 · 02-04-2013, 05:14 AM

Hi everyone, so I have a 2007 328i e92. I have been driving the car and everything has been working 100%

When I got home last night I parked it and the next morning when I went to start it it cranked a few times them completely stopped cranking and wouldn't crank or turn over anymore.

It has been cold here in the mornings in NY

I checked the battery and it works, even tried jump starting it still nothing. When I hit the start button with the brake depressed there is one click from the engine compartment and I could also hear the fuel pump pumping and that's it. It will not turn over or crank.

Any input will be great, tried doing some research but I couldn't find anything related to mine

I need help desperately

I've read you should disconnect IBS sensor and try starting the car. It may start.

I had the exact same symptoms. Mine cranked with progressively less gusto for the last half dozen starts until, in my driveway fortunately, it failed. I installed the new starter last night. Not a bad job. It took me about 4 hours. You'll need new starter bolts and intake seals along with the starter if you're a DIY kind of guy.

was the starter. got that replaced and no problems now

I would like to try disconnecting the IBS as I am having a similar issue.

Some clarity on disconnecting the IBS; are we talking about disconnecting #13 in the diagram below?

my car was doing the same thing, I replaced the battery, did the recall, and it happened again. If I let the car sit for a period of time, then the car will start which would say it isn't the starter.

I hope this doesn't happen again to you.
