check the fuel pump relay. it could have went out. If this is good and you still do not have gas being pumped then it is your fuel pump or a really dirty fuel filter. If the relay is good then I would replace the fuel filter and then if that does not fix it then go with the fuel pump

The BMW anti-theft radio circuitry is designed to essentially render your radio unsalable if it is stolen. If the radio is subsequently electrically reconnected, it will not operate until a five-digit security code assigned to your radio is entered. The anti-theft features and operation are as follows:

1. After the ignition key is removed, the red "anti-theft" LED will continuously flash, drawing attention to this feature.
2. Should anyone, such as a thief, touch any push-button on the radio after the key is removed, the anti-theft inscription will flash and a warning tone will sound for 5 minutes or until the ignition is turned ON .
3. Should the voltage supply to the radio drop below 5 volts due to a dead battery, electrical repairs, or radio removal (such as theft), the radio will not function when voltage is restored. The word "code" will show in the display only.
4. The proper 5-digit code shown on the TWO CARDS SUPPLIED TO YOU must then be entered (using the proper number radio push-button selectors in the bottom row) when the radio is on and the display shows "code". If the correct code is not entered in three successive tries , the radio will not accept entry until the radio has been left on for one hour with the ignition ON . IMPORTANT: When entering 5-digit code number, be sure to complete sequence number of that 5-digit code. For example: Code No. sequence is 43215 and you mistakenly enter 42 instead of 3, continue the code number sequence of 215 to complete that entry. The radio will not operate and "code" will reappear in the display. Re-enter the correct number sequence of 43215 and operation of the radio will continue. The likelihood of guessing the correct code is extremely remote. The radio is, therefore, unsalable to a thief. NOTE: If an audible beep is heard while entering the 5-digit code, STOP immediately ! Begin entering the code again, starting with the first number of the 5-digit code.
5. The code card should be placed in your wallet, or with the vehicle title papers for security as deemed necessary by your individual needs.
6. Should radio or electrical repairs become necessary, please give the repairing facility the radio code number. If you do not, only authorized BMW dealer personnel can obtain the code from BMW.
7. Should you lose your code cards, contact the nearest BMW dealer who will then obtain your code from BMW. You may be charged for removal of the radio to ascertain the radio chassis number.
8. WARNING: FOR YOUR PROTECTION, CODES WILL NOT BE GIVEN OUT TO ANYONE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES OTHER THAN AUTHORIZED BMW DEALER PERSONNEL AFTER PROOF OF VEHICLE OWNERSHIP AND PROPER IDENTIFICATION IS ESTABLISHED.
9. Install the 2 enclosed warning decals in accordance with motor vehicle regulations.

Yes many people have run into this problem. It is a somewhat complicated procedure. The trunk can be unlocked even when the battery is dead, so insert the key and turn it counter-clockwise and push. Once you have the trunk open locate the trunk light. (there are two of them I believe). Now you need a battery charger NO MORE than 10 AMPS. Connect the charger through the light socket (RED/WHITE is positive) charge for 10 MIN. no more than that. after you have done that (and be very careful about no more than 10 amps because there is a fuse and you do not want to blow it) Try unlocking the door with the key. If this does not work you can try the emergency unlock procedure. Hold the drivers side door handle open while turning the key to unlock the door, if the drivers side does not work, move to the passenger side and try that one. It will be hard to turn the key because you are manually unlocking the doors, keep pushing just don't break your key. Let me know if this helps you.

yes the DME (ecu) needs to be coded to align it with the vehicle.the dme and ews have to be on the same page before the vehicle will start. Support your local bmw dealership

its location should be in the petrol tank,,you should gain access under the back seat ,,,their are 2 ,,one is the pump,,think the other is a guage...

I have a 740i bmw it starts but acts like the fuel filter is cloged

The iHKA is the air conditioning control unit. The panel where you turn on and off the air conditioning and adjust the temperature. The I-drive screen is actually called a CID and it is a control display for all the functions such as navigation, radio, settings, climate control, services due, etc... There really is not a way to fix them without replacement. The control units are programmed to the vehicle and are usually VIN specific and cannot be used from car to car without causing other issues. I have used them temporarily to test a module but never left in or tried coding mine to another model. That makes it hard because you must replace it and that is expensive !!! You can try a used one from a junk yard but most likely will cause new issues

Valve oil seals blown! Leaking oil onto pistons and burning when starting up!

Check this website, you find there fuse box diagram and description for BMW 7 Series http://www.carknowledge.info/category/bmw/7-series

Use a ohms meter on end terminals, you may have to disconnect it depending on the circuit .

Smoke from where exactly? Under the hood? From the exhaust? You need to be more specific.
