My 535i refused to start this morning. First, I blamed my wife for flooding it, then later I realized that there was no spark.

I'm going to swap the main relay with the known good one on her 528e (still running).

I have 12v on the coil positive.

All ignition parts, plugs, cap, wires, O2 sensor are less than 3 months old.

I remember seeing a post on resoldering the Motronic unit, but it's off the board now. Anything else I can try?

Thanks!

MikeL
