friend has a 2000 bmw 323ci.
his battery was getting weak, ..but car was starting & working fine. he did decide it was time to change battery,..but now the car wont start.
it turns over great , but no start. / could it be in limp mode, or a computer needs to be reset ??
sounds strange , but maybe a security system issue.
any help is welcome, thanks!!!

Sounds strange.... So start by fixing the problem. Get a new battery, (or even borrow one). Does the car start with a different battery?

| Sounds like the immobilzer. I have not had to deal with this myself, but search the bimmer and roadfly forums for more information. Sometimes it is a good idea to put a charger on the car when switchiing batteries to prevent loss of memory in the computers, etc. Stock BMW batteries can last as long as 9 years, or at least they have for me. 8 years is pretty decent service life.
