    engine will not turn over???? e30 1985 323i

    Strange thing happened today. Went to take off the crank pully bolts and the engine would spin; so could not get the bolts off. So I put the car in 1st and put on the parking brake and was able to take the 6 bolts loose; but did not take them all the way off. Took the transmission out of gear and took the parking brake off. Now the engine will not turn over:)((.
    Is it possible that the engine is still in gear? Has a new master and slave and the back wheels even turn???? Car is up on 4 jack stands. I can't reset the engine to top dead center so I can do the timing belt????
    What do you think happened. When I tried to loosen the bolts the engine spun over just fine and the plugs are out? Hope the tranny did not lock up???
    any help would be great,
