Hello Every one. Ok so I bought a 1994 BMW 318i (e36). when I bought it and looked at it the people selling it didn't turn it off and I didn't even think anything of it at the time till they dropped it off in my driveway and I didn't try starting it again till the car was mine and the people where gone. well I boosted it off my Suzuki vitara, it started fine. then when I shut it off again after driving it, it wouldn't start again. so I charged the battery till it was nice and fully charged, well put it in, still no start. hooked up the jumper cables to my vitara again and just started no problem again, then when I shut it off same thing. So I went to canadiantire and traded in my battery and bought a brand new battery, all fully charged and everything, brought it home put it in the car still no start, hook up the jumper cables and it started up again no problem. so please can someone help me. I just got my first bimmer and it will only start from boosting it I just wanna be able to drive it places, if anybody has any idea on what it could be let me know.
