    I'm not sure how it is set up on a 318, but my 325i has a ground cable running from the oil pan to the frame. If this is damaged or disconnected it will NOT even turn over. You can test it by taking your jumper cables and clamping one neg clamp on the oil pan drain lug and the other neg on a well grounded bolt head like on a strut tower or the steering rack. If it turns over like this it's the ground.

            go here and search m42club.com

            does it crank over when you turn the key or do you get nothing at all?
