My 1995 bmw still wont start! I need HELP!!

I'm only 17 and i don't really no much about cars i just know when i crank it over you can smell the gas not heavy but i think its getting to the motor so i dont think its the fuel thats the problem, but I had my dad check to see if i had spark and i dont.. we checked to see if the spark plugs were good but two of them wouldn't come out.. there stuck. Do you think that could be a problem.?

Yes, this could be the problem. has the car been sitting a while? how has it been running? make sure your battery have a full charge. Remove the plug wires and spray a bit of wd where the plugs are threaded in and let sit overnight. Hopefully the juice will penetrate and let you turn them and get them out in the am. If no spark is happening anywhere (wires or plugs), we obviously have an ignition issue. check all connections at the battery and at the coil pack. If the beemer hasn't seen a tune, this is the time. Consider plugs/wires/coil pack. Change the fuel filter as well. Before I forget, when changing plugs and wires and such, disconnec the negative cable.

    do you mean you cannot get the boots off the plugs??? or the plugs themselves. Sounds like we have some corroded wires. You can purchase a boot removal tool from any auto parts store. Pull straight out. Not to the side or anything. Tough to get the wd inside the boot, but can spray and hopefully will loosen the coorosion.

    Not running for a month means stale fuel. What is the fuel level, hopefully not running on empty.

    One way or another you need to get those boots off. If you are not getting any spark and yet to have get all the plugs out, then we moving in the right direction.

    Ensure the battery has a full charge. All that cranking and start will run it down. See the post prior regarding the tool, hopefully that will assist. I assume you are planning on changing plugs and wires.

Cranks over but wont start

As with any no start situation, you would need to check for spark at the plugs and base fuel pressure to proceed.
A common fault is the ASD relay which should also be checked.

My 1995 bmw wont start!

I don't think a 1995 3 series has a timing belt. 100% sure if its the inline 6 cylinder.bmw only used timing belts on two engines. (never replaced one) I would first start with a fuel pressure check to start your diagnosis. From there i'd check to see if you are getting spark and maybe even see if your plugs are fouled. If you have fuel pressure and spark, i'd suspect bad gas.(especially if the problem occured soon after filling up). It may be a good idea to do a compression check if you found no fault with the vehicle.

M43 engine wont start, fuel pump maybe?

Does it crank when you try to start it?
Does it even makes the effort to hump a little and the goes off again?
Probably a good tune-up and a new gas pump and fuel filter and you should be good to go.
