My brother's bmw e91 msport
Has died he moved it the other day about 6 house lengths. Parked it up on the drive and now it won't start .Cranks but won't fire

Plugged it in and the ecu is not reading

Anyone able to come to use pls and plug it in and find the cause



The car is in bristol
I don't expect it done free of charge so beer tokens will change hands

If its petrol, he's probably flooded it. Keep cranking with open throttle. Or dry the plugs out.

Even though its cranking I'd suspect the charge / condition of the battery.

Changed battery as the battery did die on the car

But as said it's lost communication to the ecu so we need some one with the correct equipment to come out tell me what the problem is so we can fix it

It may just need a key reprogramming but I have no ideal
