cohen gregston 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2023 I’ve tried everything i can think of to fix this issue, when i turn the accessories on, everything works fine, like normal. But as soon as i go to start, there is no sound, no crank, nothing. I’ve looked at many forums and videos but can’t seem to find the issue. I’ve replaced the battery, and i checked all fuses/relays. The starter is getting power but not making any noise. Any solutions to go forward with? My buddy has the same exact issue on his e39 but has not had time to look at anything on it so that could be something like a fuse. But this was a project car of mine and it started fine every time, then just one day, i got nothin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Driftit 2068 Report post Posted January 11, 2023 I would also say EWS. Do you have the original key? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Potentially that key does not have the EWS chip in it or is the spare for unlocking the car only. The car is behaving the exact way my E39 540i did when I dropped the EWS part of the key whilst I was changing the battery. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
