Why is my BMW XM not starting?

I recently purchased a BMW XM and have been experiencing issues with it starting up. The battery is brand new and all the electrical systems seem to be functioning properly. However, when I turn the key, the engine does not seem to want to start. What could be the issue here?

Hi there Emily, this sounds like it could be an issue with your starter motor. It may be malfunctioning and not able to turn the engine over. I recommend taking it to a mechanic to have it checked and replaced if necessary.

Hello Emily, it is possible that there is a problem with your fuel pump. If it is not supplying enough fuel to the engine, it will have trouble starting. Have a mechanic check the fuel pump and replace it if needed.

Hey Emily, another possible issue could be a faulty ignition switch. This can prevent the engine from starting even with a new battery. It is best to have a professional diagnose and replace the switch if necessary.
