1995 325i bought as a project car missing radiator, air filter box and battery. I installed a new battery and also had to replace the starter. I wanted to here the motor run before I went any further but I have no spark, no injector pulse and no fuel pump. I do have power to my coils, injectors and fuel pump relay. I can also remove my fuel pump relay and jump out my fuel pump and make it run.

A BMW car bought as a project, sounds like fun. Start with finding out why there is no spark/injector signal. Probably need a manual, Amazon.com for a Robert Bentley book, they are quite good. Look for power and grounds in the right place at the right time. Get the basic stuff checked first. After that is completed, let me know.
