Hello All. New to board. Have an 86' 528e. Runs (ran) great. New battery. Friday took it to lunch, no problems. Sat morning -battery dead - jumped it -engine turns over, gas getting to injectors but evidently no electrical to spark plugs as it won't ignite.

Any ideas short of me having it towed to my mechanic?

Thanks in advance. br

absolutely nothing other than stock equipment. Tried jumping it again today...turns over easy, but simply won't start. Tried pulling it and roll starting it too, but nothing. Must be something electrical. Going to tow it down to mechanic over weekend, I think.

thanks for the reply, though.

so...battery was the issue after all. My mechanic pulled it out and replaced it with a Bosch and it runs great! Now, just have to see if I can remember the radio code.....
