What is your question?
Hi,
I Purchased a 1999 BMW 528I and all was running well until the other day... I drove an hour to work and when I was leaving the car wouldn't start..it cranked but wouldn't turn over.
I brought it back to the place I purchased it from and they seem to think the EWS needs to be replaced.. I have heard that it may just need to be aligned but I am not sure and i am kind of afraid to suggest that to them.
They seemed kind of pissy when I suggested a few things the day I brought it there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
thank you

RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 1999 BMW 528i. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
With a 15 yr old vehicle it can be just about anything. No spark condition at ignition coil, no fuel pressure at engine, unmeatered air intake leak etc... I would let them do their due dilagence and troubleshoot the issue without any input. I see too many instances today that regular people go to the internet and read a post/suggestion and strongly believe that their vehicle is suffering from the same condition without ever testing a single component. Then when it arrives to a qualified service station. Vehicle has a couple of parts installed, frustrated vehicle owner, yet still full of suggestion/ input. Just beware must automotive technicians have hundreds if not thousands of hours of training/ experience at their skillful craft. My only ews suggestion is if you have another authorized key try it to see if it starts w/ that one. Best of wishes.
