So I've been trying to get this 320i coupe to start running but havent had much luck. the starter motor sounds like it only want to do half a turn then the "tick, tick, tick, tick, tick"). I've cleaned all the electrical connectors and has made no difference. any fuses or relays worth checking. any ideas?

is the battery dead?

Might be the battery try and check the voltage see if it's within specs

[joshe320i]

battery is all within specs, that was the first thing i checkedl. is there anyway to check the start motor to see if it works.

If it isn't the battery then it's possible that the starter motor is stuck, or not engaging the flywheel. Some auto parts stores have a testing unit for starters, but of course that involves removing it.

The starter motor is gettting all the power it need. At this stage going to pull the starter motor out tonight and see whats up with her.

I have this strange feeling that i have missed something simple some wire or fuse
