my mechanic tested the starter when it wasnt starting.. he said it wasnt the starter but something electrical.. also now the battery is getting killed over night... but he tested the battery and its not that... so somethings gotta be killing my battery and maybe its the same thing thats keeping my car from starting? something in the ignition? i dunno

sounds like a starter issue for the no start. Do you here the fuel pump run when you turn the key on engine off ?

Wish i could help more but the oldest i have seen is two e36's at work, all day working on 07 and newer.
its not really a "long start" its just i turn the key and i get nothing..absolutly nothing for like 2 seconds then it will just start right up... its not struggling to start.. just sometimes it does sometimes it doesnt.. and now its dying if its not getting driven on the daily...

SIIIGHHHH hopefully i hear something today and illl post back with you guys.. if any body else has any ideas id appreciate it ... the more knowledge i have when i talk to this guy the better.
