have a 2008 BMW 328i. Car was running fine.. Stopped to get gas, turned off the car, came back to start it and every warning light on the dash was on & the windshield wipers came on and would not turn off.. Turned off car resrarted it and did the same thing. So was going to drive the car home but the breaks lockrd up. So I parked it turned it off and then it woupd not start. Replaced the battery and then it would turn over but not fire off to actually start. Does anyone know why? I am stumped. Please help!
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2008 BMW 328i. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
Unfortunately there are way too many variables here. You will need to start with scanning the system with a good scanner. Codes may point you in the right direction but this sounds like a control unit or wiring type issue.

You will have to swing by a Euro Indy shop. They will have the right scanner. Some of these cheaper scanners won't hook up to the BMW and Mercedes

Thank you. We did hook it up to a scanner but the scanner could not even reach the computer to pull any codes.
