My Ride: 2004 530i Xenon, Sport, Premium, Automatic, Logic 7, Orient Blue & Auburn Dakota Leather with Dark Poplar Wood Trim
![Default](https://5series.net/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
My car a 2004 BMW 530i automatic with 113,000 miles went this morning to turn it on and all the lights came up normal but the there is no crank, nothing, nada. All the lights in the dashboard are ok but when turning the keys to the on position , the car wont do anything. I tried jumping the car with similar result. At this point im sure it's not the battery. I guess is the starter or fuel pump. I dont get any engine light or message in the iDrive. Please let me know if anyone had a similar problem and what was the solution.
Thank you in advance

If no 12V at the solenoid try the IVM.
Starter is a pain to get at on the 530i but not nearly as bad as the 545i, where you have to remove a large chunk of the exhuast system. Those German engineers are S&M freaks!

The mechanic is someone that I have used for the last 20 years to service or fix any repair with all the cars that i have owned.
