The BMW f10 may have starting issues due to a dead battery or a problem with the engine not turning over. Over the course of owning the vehicle, you may encounter battery-related challenges such as a cracked case that requires full replacement or a leak causing fluid loss. A quick draining battery will need to be addressed, either by recharging or replacing it. Ultimately, the battery will reach a point where it needs to be replaced every 50,000 to 60,000 miles. While this maintenance may require spending some money, it's necessary to ensure your car continues to operate smoothly.

    The primary reason a BMW might crank without starting is often attributed to a malfunctioning fuel pump, fuel pump fuse, or fuel pump relay. Also, it's important to consider the fuse for the ignition coils and the ECU engine computer - if this fuse is faulty, the BMW will crank but fail to start.

    Hello, I have a BMW 5 Series 525d, and I am experiencing an issue with starting the engine. I have tried replacing the fuel pump relay, installing a new fuel pump, and checking all the fuel pressure sensors, but so far, I have not had any success in fixing the problem. Do you have any suggestions or ideas on what the issue might be?

    Hi there, I recently purchased a BMW F10 520D from 2010 with an automatic transmission. On the second day of owning it, when I tried to start the engine, I noticed a strange sound coming from it. Now the engine cranks but doesn't start. I verified that the fuel pump is working properly. Any assistance or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
