Problem overview

Some BMW 528i owners report experiencing issues where the engine turns over but does not start, often due to battery-related problems such as a weak or dead battery that fails to provide sufficient power. Additionally, fuel system issues, including a malfunctioning fuel pump or a leaking Eccentric Shaft Sensor, can prevent the engine from starting. Some owners also report ignition and key problems, where faulty ignition components contribute to the starting failure. Mechanical issues, like a bad starter motor or solenoid, may hinder proper engine turnover. Furthermore, electrical problems within the vehicle, including issues with the alternator or starter, can lead to similar starting difficulties. It is advisable for owners experiencing these issues to consult a qualified mechanic for a thorough inspection and necessary repairs.
