Alright if anyone can help...
My e36 1996 BMW M3 3.2L Manual. has 'died'.
So first my battery went flat. The result of that was the car spluttered to a stop. Put a external jump pack in the boot hooked up to the battery. Got home, then in the morning got a brand new battery put it in and then after a drive noticed the dash battery light was on. Then with the new battery, same thing.
So to try to get home I got the jump pack again and swapped battery's again with a (full) borrowed one. and now it has no kick, it turns over and has a little go at starting but that's it. Was stuck on the side of the highway for hours, ended up towing it home (and cause of my after market piece of shit bumper I had to remove the whole front bar on the side of the highway to tow it.) (p.s. the bumper isn't going back on, I **** it enough to rep no bumper for the time being.)
Fuel pump works and builds up pressure until it's extremely pressurised then stops. but no start.
Talked to BMW about it and they said it is possibly the alternator ($1200). and if so why did it start and drive with the jump park the first time?
Any help and or info would be appreciated.
Cheers' guys
