i have a 2008 335i auto. drove it to work in December 2017 all was fine. when i wanted to leave work it would not start. had abs light with exclamation mark next to it. it is now 7 months later changed crank and cam sensors, dme and cas new. all speed sensors new and still she cranks but no start. for the last month and a half she has been standing at a dealership. they have run full diagnostics and still no start. there are no error codes either. everything shows good on the agents diagnostics. just no spark on the spark plugs. please if anyone has had this problem before your input would be of great service. car has 190k kilometers on the clock.

No errors.

Drain some Fuel and check. once saw a 325 not starting at a dealership. not wanting to start. then i suggestet drain some fuel. and true as F there was something not right and it was concluded fuel was contaminated lightly with diesel. yes diesel and you could hardly notice it but that car refused to start. Some new fuel and prrrr.

Just a suggestion drain some fuel in a 500ml bottle and compare it to fresh fuel from a pump the coulor. it should give you an indication
