Engine not able to start

[Kelvin K]

Good day

Ride F10 523i
Just encountered this morning, pressed the ignition on switch followed by a second press to start, not able to start, battery should be fine as no fault on that, no other faults shown as well.
however DSC message appear about 2-3 times.
May I check if any brothers here faced such issue before ?

Most likely starter motor.

 

[Kelvin K]

Starter motor can be easily changed ?
Thinking of getting from Stockist and replace it .
But still not sure if it’s the starter motor

the cranking sound still sounds normal and not weak though. Just the engine not able to start

 

[Kelvin K]

just to add on, how about the DSC part ? Driving stability control?

Ok you've got to be specific on whats going on here. 1st post states no start and nothing about cranking sound.

End if the day all I can say is you've got an issue that you're not going to be able to fix without a proper workshop so call around and see who's available.

You can watch this and hope it helps

Nice picture but there's literally no way to tell without hooking up a diagnostic machine / software and scanning it. Could be a sensor could be 1000 other things related or unrelated. There's no good answer here unfortunately except for the obvious take it to a mechanic and have them look it over.
Get yourself a obd dongle and software like bimmerlink or carly which can tell you exactly whats wrong esp if you're considering holding onto this car for any length of time.

Was the rate acceptable ?

Truthfully I have no idea. I'm just checking around in case it happens in the future. As long as you're OK with what you paid its all good. Warranty is another good to have
