What is your question?
i cannot get her to start, it swings but no fire to engine. when tried to reset the computer received a report EMS. Checked the computer box, put in new battery but still does not start. the battery was low, we boosted a couple of times and then put in a new battery, checked all fuses, its fine. all fault signals cleared but still does not start

need you to repost, but need you to know these two things first. vehicle will not crank, means you turn the key, but the engine does not spin over. vehicle will not run, means the engine spins over, but the engine does not go to running, these are two totally different things, what you wrote, I am not sure whether you are saying the engine will not crank, or the engine will not run.
thank you for your response, engine swings but does not start up (starter motor turns, this is for a 530D Auto E60. Ignition light comes on, not showing any faults with regars to this problem. Whilst trying to find the fault with a diagnostic tool, came up with a fault, 'Tampering', and thereafter car does not start
the tampering sounds like anti theft. if you have a remote, try locking and unlocking with the remote, then try to start the vehicle. if that does not work, I would suggest that the vehicle go to a repair shop.
we did try that but still no luck, will have to get it to a workshop tomorrow. problem is that it is automatic so we cannot tow it as well. i have this car for 3 years and its the first time i am having a problem. my spouse tried everything to get her going but no luck thanks for your time, much appreciated
