Default 04 525i Car won't start/crank

Hey guys my car won't start or crank. Nothing. I have a video of me trying to start my car. Any suggestions on what it could be? and how to test whats wrong? It's a manual also. I don't know if that helps.

You probably have to replace the starter. I had the same problem and replacing the starter was the solution !

thanks for the replies guys. I took it to a bmw mechanic and they confirmed it was the starter. Gotta fork out $650 for the repair.
