Maybe I'm stupid and this is just a dying battery, but my e30 developed a weird issue this weekend.
Half the time when I turn the car over, it starts just fine. Now though, it'll crank for a second and then come to an immediate stop with a nasty grinding sound. If I turn the key again, nothing happens like the battery is dead. If I wait a few seconds, it'll turn over normally and start right up. The reason I don't think this is a dead battery is that when I wait and crank it again, it cranks at full speed, not like it's struggling to turn over.
Has anyone experienced anything like this before?
