Its 2001 model automatic
Re check the earth strap that bolts to the body from the engine if its not properly tight it will cause this problem.
Either the battery or starter is defective.
Battery with no load should be 12.6 volts or more.
BMW starters usually lasts as the engine life.
If battery and starter are OK, and car won't start, check the remote switch on the car key.
To start a BMW, the on-board computer reads the codes stored in the remote key. Replace dead battery in remote switch in case it can no longer unlock/lock the doors.
Car will not start if shifter is set to Reverse.
Other problems could be diagnosed using scanner.

SOURCE: Engine cranks, but does not start
My suggestion to this is to check the basics. Check fuel pressure and check spark during crank. There is no quick answer for a no start condition. You always have to start by checking the basics. An engine with no spark or fuel will not start every time.

i have the same problem right now. the relay is located under the big black box on passenger side of engine compartment. There are three relays in there. orange, blue and white. I dont know which is associated with the fuel pump though.
SOURCE: Can a weak battery cause a BMW to misfire?
hello, if the vehicle ran with cable off one would ASUME alternator is ok! however, i bad diode in the aletnator would allow it to charge yet have a massive voltage draw as well, almost all of todays parts stores will do a free starting and charging test for you! ......ps a large voltage drop would rob your ignition of voltage causing your miss!.good luck, marty

Was this all done by a licensed repair shop ?
Have you tried moving shifter through all gears while holding key to start, just to see if any kick at all? (safety neutral switch may be faulty)
