Please help, will not start!
I drive a 2007 BMW 328xi Today I drove about 30 minutes and parked. When I returned to my car about 20 min later it started normally. I backed up and pulled away. When I began turning right my car died. It had power still as all electrical systems were still on, but the car will not turn back over. It did not make any noise or have any indication of dying. We have checked the battery, starter wires, and all fuses in the box and the ECM. I'm at a loss at what it can be. The starter does not even make a noise when attempted to start but it does have 12.4v. I called the dealer to check for recalls and there is none for my car. Mine was not one of the ones in the battery cable/terminal recall group. Please help, I have a new job that starts in 6 days I desperately need this taken care of.

Perhaps it's the starter itself... It may have power but the internal gears are disengaged somehow. Best of luck to you.

This is really far fetched, but i once had plus cable loose from the engine bay. Right where the big plus terminal is. It was under black plastic cover, so we only found the reason by accident. It wouldn't start, when pressed button. In this link pointed with Yellow arrow.

Is your starter solenoid clicking but the starter motor isn't turning? Or does the solenoid seem dead? If the former, try tapping the starter with a hammer and starting. If the former, try jumping the solenoid.
