Just wanted to know if anyone on this forum could help me understand what is going on I just pulled up at a 7/11 to buy smokes and when I jumped back in the car it won't start not getting anything I have checked battery that seams to be working fine .BMW assist came out he checked few things really they don't look like they know what they r doing but anyway he spent 5 min on car and has put it down as the immobiliser so had to get it towed home wondering what do I need to do if it is that to rectify the problem I have the cable and inpa on my laptop would that work and if so how do I go about it

have you tried the spare key?

Did you step on the brake pedal when you turn the ignition key?

Is the brake light on when you put the key in or pull the emergency brake handle?

Good luck, man. I feel your misery...

I think I read something about a power relay, located in the fuse box near the battery in the trunk. I think the color is beige. Google power relay for your car and see if that could be the problem.

Good luck!
