E90 2006 325i won't turnover

E90 2006 325i no engine mods…

With over 5 plus year of perfect dependability and 169,000 miles, my wife gave me a call today to tell me the car won’t start. I have road side assistance and after properly jumping the car it still wouldn’t start.

This is what happens, on the brake, insert key, push the start button, and it click’s once but does not even attempt to turnover. The Battery is less than 6 months old so I took it out and had my local dealer load test and it passed with flying colors (they did charge me… truly shocked) and I check the CAS no problems.

So, before I put on a rack and take apart the front undercover and check the power to the solenoid then starter is there anything else that one of you may have experienced that I should check?

Thanks…

PS: Got to get this fixed fast, the wife is driving the M5.

Kinda figured... can't hurt to ask around.
