Do the stomp test to see what diagnostic engine trouble code is.
sounds electrical to me. I'd have a look at the battery, perhaps the body shop ran it down buy leaving the doors ajar or something.

Was the crank position sensor BMW factory part? If not, that is your problem. Another possible problem is the O2 sensor is bad.

There is no reliable way to test the crank position sensor... even Winifred said so. The aftermarket one causes alot of problem.
battery is goodOriginally Posted by DanSr
stomp test comes up with no codes
You think so? The resistance in the sensor is within spec. Tho well I'll see if I can get ahold of a stock one and see if that will fix the problem
