: I have a 1993 318i. I got in the car this morning and the car would not start. I noticed as I was cranking the the car that the tach was going CRAZY. -snip-

I had this once on a ford Cosworth. It turned out to be moisture in one of the engine sensors. Actually, I believe it was the crank (rpm) sensor, which I know you have tested for continuity. It did take quite a bit of WD40 (water repellant) to get rid of it though.
