My 1998 BMW Z3 is having the same problem and now the ignition seems to be locked and the key won't turn. The car died when I let the clutch out. The car now seems to be stuck in aux. mode. The key is out but the dash lights remain on and you can use all of the electronic options. Did you ever figure out what was wrong?
it could just be your controller. try messing around with the analogs or a new controller.
try turning your wheel a little bit(it should turn one way a little bit then stop try moving it back and forth) while you try to turn the key
Ran out of gas? Or ran out of oil?
becuz the vires of a zombie spreads its like ads it wont stop
You have to go to the dealer and ask them to turn them off, otherwise they leave them on as running headlights. They will do this for free.
Factory security usually kills the ability to start but should still turn over. Aftermarket imobilizers can stop it from turning over. Does the starter work? Is there enough battery? Start with basics first.
Change the abs motor.
Call the person who repaired the car and tell them what is going on. But what you write above makes no sense. You say, "(wont turn over) (wants to start) by (wont stay running)" If it won't turn over, how does it want to start, and how can it be running in the first place? Did they replace the fuel filter. If not, they should have.
TRY TURNING THE KEY OVER.
Daytime running light module may be the problem
Check the operation and alignment of the stop light switch - usually located at the upper end of the brake pedal under dash area
Check stop light switch for misadjustment or defect
