1982 528i BMW

My 1982 BMW 528i won't start.. it sounds like it wants to, but can't.
I have tested the coil, the battery, distributor and fuel pressure.
it has fuel and oil.
It has had problems with idling recently..... would i need to use a fuel additive?

- thanks a lot! your advice was really helpful!
i think it may be the alarm system... it hasnt worked in a while, so it might be shorting out or something like that, i am going to try disabling the alarm,,, see if that fixes problem...

i hope i dont have to go to service center either! they charge so much!!

1 more thing you had left

is check your sparkplug & ignition system
is it ok or not ,proper wired if not than clean up that connectors & than do again with checking your battery with another same model if started than its 100% fault about your ignition sysytem coil ,

go to your service center they can solve this prob easily after all,
i hope so you dont have to go to center you ca do it yourself,as i had,
