Hello. I have a 2000 BMW 323i which I just purchased 6 weeks ago. I have had to do alot of repairs on it since I have had it. I had only had a chance to driven around 10 times. I have replaced the front and rear rotors, shocks and struts, spark plugs and valve gasket, lower control arms and bearings, cabin filter, oil change and coolant flush. Now, all of the sudden, one day I was at the gas station, I filled up the gas tank with gas. When I tried starting up the car, It would not start. It wouldnt even crank up or anything. None of the lights would light up from the dash or anything. It was completely dead. Then after the 3rd time, it started. I drove it home and I parked it home then I tried starting the next day, it didn't start, it was completely dead again and now it doesnt want to start at all! It is completely dead. The alternator is good, the battery is good, the spark plugs were just changed so I dont know what it can be. Please help. Im a female with very little money since it has gone into the repairs of this car.

No crank at all/nothing/nada:

Could be a blown fusible link the starter, starter relay, clutch switch/park and neutral switch and ignition switch assuming the battery and connections are good.

Yeah we checked all the wiring and tested the battery, there is voltage/current on everything so far just the car is completely dead, it wont start or crank or anything. None of the lights turn on on the dash or the radio or anything. Sorry Im just a clueless female who is desperate to find out what else is wrong with this money-guzzler of a car. I am having a regular mechanic check it out but I am trying to give him ideas of what it can be. He is a little familiar with european cars but not really too much. My car wont start so to have it towed to the closest european auto repair shop will cost me almost $200. Thanks and I will definetly compensate your help!
