2010 BMW 318i - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Question edited to what I think, you thought you were saying :>D Question moved to model category. All vehicles need 2 good keys. I don't suppose you have a way of testing the battery voltage? It is drops below 11 volts, nothing works the way It should, including removing the key on a vehicle that is an automatic. You have the symptoms of a car alarm and immobilizer stopping it starting. After disconnecting the battery, it definitely need resetting. You need a mobile auto locksmith you cut you a new key and program both keys to make it start. People always think they only need one key because they are careful and won't lose it. Then they do and you either pay dealership prices for a key to be made based on the VIN number, or you buy a new lock and keys and have the hassle of fitting it and reprogramming it. https://www.google.com/search?q=auto+locksmith+near+me ..

check relay and wiring for short

if you have a key fob (you did not specify year), remove the regular key and there is a key location around the handle that you can use to unlock the trunk

Torque settings for what part?

I am not sure what you mean when you say you blocked it off. You must have the water so it will circulate through the system and that means you need to splice the heater hoses together so the water will return to the radiator and through the motor. You could have a heater hose that is separated inside and not show. Did you check the thermostat to make sure it is operating. It sounds as if it is shut and needs replacement.

make sure you have fuel. bmw cars are notorious for fuel gauge error. Try your spare key, maybe immo problem. if you detect having low battery dont keep on trying and install new battery or charge battery first or you loose dme to ews cyncronization and you have to get it programmed to get it started

If ambient temperature was high it could be just a vapor lock. I'd try opening the fuel filler cap and then replacing. Otherwise would need some more information such as the year, transmission type, previous most recent issues with starting

Should be behind the fuse block under the hood of the car, pain to get to but it's there.

The VIN number or the build sticker in the door jamb will tell the build date.

Replace the pressure regulator. It's on the fuel rail with a vacuum hose going to it.

look at this link.. 5 Causes of Engine Vibration ... If your car is shaking while it's on but not actually moving, then it's likely not the tires. This usually means there is something broken in the engine, such as the radiator fan or engine mounts. Fuel system issues can also cause the car to shake even while standing still.
