2000 323i won't start. I have replaced the fuel, I have fuel pressure, and compression. How do I test for spark at the coil, and injector pulse?

Pull a spark plug and attach the coil and see if there is spark would be one way. If you don't have spark or fuel there is a possibility there is something that has set a fault and can be read out with the proprietary BMW software. The drive away protection called EWS may be out of alignment and will require a trip to an agency with the correct software to remedy this issue.
