Just tried to start my 320d e91 (58reg) and it won't start

Usual procedure to start, clutch in press start button and you can hear the starter motor but the engine won't catch/start

It sounds like there's plenty of juice in the battery and the starter motor sounds ok

There's also enough fuel and the car is quite low milage (20k)

The only thing I've done is wash and move the car about 100yards

Any ideas - could this be fuel / starter / electrics /fuse ??

Could be because you only drove it a 100 yards. I've had my car be very reluctant to start after a 1 minute drive.

I've had this problem on a 56 520d, where one minute it was running and the next it wasn't, it turned out to be the EWS Module (immobiliser)and the DME ( Engine Module) that had lost their calibration and needed re calibrating.
The best thing to do though is get the RAC or BMW Assist out to you - I gather the car is still has warranty ?
