Could be several different issues. Have the charging system checked. Also, make sure all your cables to your alternator and battery are clean, and tight. If all that checks out, then check for a short in your wiring. If you. Want instructions on how to do that , reply, and I will explain the procedure.

How long did you charge the battery? If was completely dead a five minute jump won't do it. Let battery JUMP charge for at least 20 minutes and have other person helping you do the jump rev his engine while you start the beamer.

SOURCE: 2003 BMW 325xi won't start, dashboard and radio go on.

My 2003 325xi died on the highway a few weeks ago, and I thought it was the battery. It turned out to be the alternator, which was an expensive problem to repair. If your battery is new, it could be the alternator, or a problem with the electrical system. I find the BMWs to be too complicated electrically, which often leads to problems! I'd check your alternator...

SOURCE: BMW 325xi; 160k; check engine light on-->next day, wont start!

The check engine light is a warning to let you know something needs your attention to be repaired I would try getting a jump. Could be a bad battery. Lets get the battery charged and tested. Cold weather will stop your car from starting if you have a weak battery. You dont need to tow the car just take the battery to Autozone or Walmart to be charged and tested for cca...cold cranking amps

Where is the fuel door release button on a bmw 525d 2005? or is there one, jus have one for a few days and cant refill the fuel

Unlocking the front drivers door usually unlocks the fuel filler cap. With the front door unlocked, push the side of the fuel filler door in and it will open.

Let us know if that works.

Hi I have just inherited my late fathers BMW 5 series 525d SE and the battery is flat - please can you tell me where the battery is located as it is certainly not under the bonnet, many thanks

I think that you will find it in the trunk beneath the tray on the right side. If it is not there, it is beneath the rear seat. Just pull up on the rear seat bottom to snap it up.

Bmw 525d e39 2003 has hunting problem but goes like a dream but then when at lights it start to hunt brum, brum can anyone help

I would assume that you have a check engine light on and you probably have a misfire. Go to your local parts store(autozone, o'reilly's, etc.), they do scanning for free. Get the codes and let me know and I will continue to help.

2003 E39 525d Blower not working

The most common issue is the final stage (electronic resistor) but if this has been replaced its probably the fan motor. Try giving the fan motor a knock. They sometimes get stuck brushes
