Problem overview

Some BMW 650i owners report experiencing starting issues that may be linked to multiple oil leaks, even after recent starter and gasket replacements. These problems can stem from a faulty battery, which can prevent the car from starting despite new components being installed. Additionally, issues with the alternator may lead to inadequate battery charging, further complicating the starting process. Some owners have noted that even with a new starter, there could still be connection problems affecting its performance. Furthermore, complications within the fuel system, such as leaks or delivery issues, can also hinder starting. Problems within the ignition system, including faulty spark plugs or ignition coils, may prevent the engine from firing up. Lastly, issues within the electrical system, like faulty relays or wiring, can contribute to these starting difficulties. It is crucial for owners facing these issues to thoroughly diagnose the specific cause and seek professional assistance if necessary.
