How are you guys I have another problem. My car was working fine until last Friday arvo I went to start her and all I got was click click click over and over. It's not the battery. But I saw the E ML light come on. I'm really worried. Please help Jenn

The EML light on a BMW indicates there is a problem with the "drive by wire" throttle control system. The drive by wire throttles use a computer controlled stepper motor rather than a throttle cable as in the past. However, that doesn't explain why you are getting a clicking when you try to start it. Are you certain that the battery is good? If it is weak enough, it could set this light.
