    BMW E30 not starting

    Hello,
    About a month ago I started having an issue where my e30 wouldn't start. After trying several times to start it, it would eventually fire up and I'd ignore the issue. Well, now it's just dead. The battery was showing good power and I showed power to the starter so I changed the starter. Nothing. Changed the ignition switch, still nothing. Everything lights up like it should with the key in the on position but when I turn it to start it's just nothing. No trying to crank, no clicks. Any thoughts?

    Jump pins 11 and 14 on the diag plug in the engine bay. Make sure the key is in the on position. Also check your main relay to see if it's bad.
