Hey there
I've just acquired a 1994 BMW 850CI which has been standing still for over 5 years.
At this point I am only interested in getting it to run, it has good compression and sparks fine but no fuel getting through.
Does anyone have any suggestions of whether there are any known issues with fuel pumps "sticking" over time or dodgy relays?

thanks for the suggestions, the fuel filter is clear but not sure about the injectors yet though, it appears that the pump just doesn't run, is there a fuel cut-off switch anywhere on these?

I've read different things bout the fuelling systems, one person has told me that there is only one pump and another that there may be two pumps, either way I haven't removed the rear seat yet to have a look underneath to see for myself.....hopefully will do that later today.
