Hi Guys ........I went to have some new tyres fitted ,and the car showed 19 miles on the trip ,but when I went to start it ,it wouldnt fire .I have put in 3 gallons and still no joy .
The superb AA man then arrived and tried everything ,both fuel pumps are working and spinning ,the lines are fuelled ,but nothing is getting to the engine .Its been in the local garage with a diesel specialist and he cant find anything .Help ....is there some fuel cut off ?
Any ideas would be gratefully received!
A few points ,.....it is the right fuel /trip now shows 128 miles /it showed no signs of fuel issues before /it only moved 20ft at the garage /THE BATTERY WAS LOW ,but has now been fully charged .It has a regular service history !

Nightmare!I would have presumed that you now have air In the fuel system which needs bleeding out.
However,as you've had two specialists looking at it and I'm in no way one,this maybe wrong.
Best of luck and post up what the outcome was.

Issue appeared after tyres changed?

Hmm a possibility is the tyre change centre pinched the fuel lined when they jacked up the car. Slim chance but if it worked before it would work afterwards.

Let BMW have a look at it
