Well first things first, my car, 08' 335i coupe, Completely Stock, bought CPO'd @ 32k, right now i am at 38k. Now the problems that were changed through warranty since my ownership of 6k miles :

- 6x injectors
- 6x spark plugs
- 1x turbocharger
- 1x hpfp
- 1x turbocharger vacuum reservor tank

Now just last week, i took my car in because of rough idle still, they stated there was carbon build up, so they needed to decarbonize the vehicle. After a week, which was yesterday, i got the vehicle and drove it back home. Now today, i try to start, it doesn't start, im thinking battery? i try to jump, same thing.

My question is, the electronics and everything works fine, like the car is ready to start, has enough juice, but there is a check engine light on, and doesnt start.

do you think they screwed up on the decarbonizing? They had to scrub the valves and soak it with w/e they used for days since there was so much build up.

towing to the dealer tomorrow as we speak.

Sounds like your dealership doesn't know what they are doing.

wow sorry to hear you're having so many problems after just buying your car.

Any chance battery cable was not tightened down all the way and popped off?
Are you getting any power at all.

[drfrink24]

Does it even turn over?

[genuinekid]

It has power. But just doesn't turn over. At the dealership now will let u know of outcome

[trickcruiser]

Best of luck man.

I read somewhere that someone had similar issues and it was just a dead battery. Had aux but the car would not start/jump. Hope yours is just as easy of a fix.

is it not turning over at all? if so go to the trunk and pull out the blue connector on top of the battery then try to start the car....after it starts put the cable back in .......let me know if it works.....

What happens when you try to start it? Does everything shut off?

When i put the key on, all the sound and what not makes it seem like the car is ready to turn, once i depress the clutch and press the button it doesnt turn.
btw, will you have a CEL? if it doesnt turn?
