Hi Sam,

Don't wander too far away.

Unplug the fuel pump connector and test if the fuse blows, yes mean wire, no means pump is shot.

It's the fuel pump, E-36 are notorious for failing fuel pumps at the mileage you stated. It is under the rear seat on the right side. Pop the rear seat bottom up and unscrew the big ring (I use two crossed screwdrivers and catch the little tabs on the ring, turn it slowly and it will unscrew) and replace with part#16-14-6-758-736
