My Ride: 2009 BMW E60 528i
Default My E60 won’t start. Please help!!


Hello guys, I have a 2009 e60 528i. My car won’t star and my pedal brake is very hard, it doesn’t move, I replaced the booster but still have the same problem, it doesn’t move, I Also did The bleeding but when I did the last caliper it do not bleed. And also I have a message on my dash that the ABS control system is in malfunction.
All the lights on the dash turn on normally. But the car do not want to start.
Hope somebody can help me!

Thanks

The only way to tell for sure what's going on is to read the codes being thrown off. If you can't move the car, can you borrow somebody's tester?

If you have a bad starter INPA will literally say bad starter. I had similar no start issue and the bad starter code was there waiting for me. New starter installed and it started.

For the hard brake pedal - that's not unusual. My brake pedal is randomly hard after the car sits overnight. Has been for years.

I have 1 of those conventional scanners from eBay and the only code what I have are from the o2 sensor, this weekend I may have to test the starter, and I have to find what is going on with my brake system

Yes, I’ll test the starter this weekend, but I need to find out what is going on with my brake system, but for sure I don’t want to take this car to the dealer

Wow, I do have a e46, e90 and this e60 and I never feel like that, that hard brake pedal is pretty unusual for me, looks like my brake fluid line on my from driver wheel is not right, something was wrong when I did the bleeding, I would thy to find out this weekend.

after pressing the brake a lot with the car up, its gonna build up pressure and the pedal will get hard. itll probably go back to normal once you get the car started.
