If you just got gas, check your gas cap is closed tightly. If it isn't it can't pressurize correctly.

1997 bmw 328i not starting

Come on give us more information. Think if you were trying to fix your own problem and you had to explain the problem to someone else with exactly no knowledge of what's going on.

1st off....a key with bad electronics and reader will open the door and that's it.

So that being said does the key turn the engine? If so the key, the program and ecu are ok. Say the engine cranks but doesn't start. Fuel pump. unscrew the access plug on the fuel rail and see if any fuel squirts out. NO......don't ever do this when it's hot..........not that yours is because it doesn't run but I had to say that. The millisecond you turn your key over to get it to try to start...the fuel pump comes on and pressurizes the entire fuel system.

Got fuel pressure, the engine turns but still no start= ignition spark plug engine computer problems.

Why does my bmw 1997 318i abs light stay on all

a multitude of potential problems. Probably a bad abs unit or control box $850.00 Could be a sensor at the wheel---dirty or just quit working.

Either way.....lots of money.
