How to troubleshoot a BMW vehicle that won't start?

I have a BMW vehicle that won't start and I'm not sure what the problem could be. The battery seems to be working fine, but the engine won't turn over. I've tried jumping it, but that didn't work. Any advice on what steps to take to troubleshoot this issue?

First, make sure that the battery terminals are clean and securely attached. If they appear corroded, try cleaning them with a wire brush. If that doesn't work, you may need to replace the battery.

If the battery is in working order, then the problem could be with the starter or ignition switch. You can try tapping the starter with a hammer to see if that will get it going, but if not, you may need to take it to a mechanic for further inspection.

Another possibility is a faulty fuel pump. Check to see if you can hear it turn on when you turn the key in the ignition. If it doesn't make any noise, that could be the cause of your starting issues.
