Starting problems Hi, I've just bought a BMW from a guy but the batery was dead. So i loaded the battery and it works fine but trying to start the bike it just gives a weird sound lake something hitting inside if the engine ( like TAK TAK TAK) I don't know what's wrong with it but can somebody give me an idea? THX
You don't have neough battery power to start - the noise you hear is the starter motor turning, but not engaging the starter ring.
Either charge the battery for longer or replace the battery.

sounds like alternator usualy u can take car to autozone an have them test it if batery dosent hold charge and keeps dieing on you it most likely is it any way a good place to start
If your battery is good and all of your other electrical systems work fine then chances are it is your starter that is bad. However if the engine turns over but just won't start then you most likely have an electrical problem such as a bad ignition switch or ECM. I hope this helps you out.
When inside your car is it a the IBS (intelligent batery sensor) what this is the all recharging controlls. Battery must a registrated to car memory when new is where after change to empty battery! In diagnostical tools only! Car remember so how a old empty battery and recharging no good!
WARNING: Use you AGM specially batterie with fibre glass for your BMW attached only!
Okay it could be one of 2 things. A) you are leaving something on in the car such as lights or leaving a door open a little. B) you have a bad alternator. To check it once you have a complete charged battery, start the car. Let it run fora few mins. while the car is running disconnect the battery. (this is completely safe) If the car turns off you have a bad alternator. Please let me know the outcome.
The batery is probably dead. The lights don't take much power but windows and such do. Try jump starting the car. If tha works you may have altenator problems
try to check if other battery is working when being charge,if the problem is in ur battery u have to return and ask for replacement fron the store where you purchased it.nobody can repair battery pack.tnx
