Car won't start.
Vehicle: 2011 E92 M3
What happens when trying to start:
All these actions happen at the same time after attempting to start the car..
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance. |

Check your voltage. Sounds like a dead battery or could be the battery cable issue behind the glove box. Wiggle it and see if it makes a connection.

Check the battery voltage as you try to start it, that's free! If the voltage doesn't drop significantly and the voltage comes back to fairly normal voltage, it's not your battery.
Then open your wallet for a new starter! Mine would go through all you mentioned, then there would be an audible click from the starter, symptoms started about a week before it went dead for sure, we would get the starter click, try again and it would fire up. I just replaced my starter a week ago. |

I had a similar issue in my e46 m3 where everything would be good until I turn the key to crank it up and everything would black out and the instrument cluster would make a buzzing noise. Turned out I had a considerable amount of corrosion on the positive battery terminal.

The seller dealer had a lot of issues with my vehicle and it was traced to a failing EDC module after I received the car and took it to my local dealer. Car wouldn't go to sleep, thus the battery drained.
