Best Answer

When you turn the key, does the car just click...or do you hear cranking too? If all you hear is a click, it's a starter problem. Something that's easy to try is to get under the car with a hammer and LIGHTLY!!!! tap the starter while someone tries to crank the engine. A lot of times they just stick, and doing this will clear them up.

Which is faster a 1997 BMW 528i or a 1997 BMW 740il?

That's a tough one. The 528i weighs less, but has an engine with less torque and horsepower. Honestly none of those cars are exactly "fast." How about this, a 1997 540i has the same engine as a 1997 740iL and weighs less.
