I would have the battery tested. When they get cold they get weak. Next I would look at the wires on the starter to see if their loose.

BMW 318i starts fine but once you drive it for 5 minutes switch it off, it wont start again.

sounds like a engine sensor i'd guess at the crank sensor but to be sure you would need to get the OBD codes read , this will give the exact fault so wont waste money trying sensor(s) on a hit an miss basis,you can buy a code reader online not expensive just make sure it covers your vehicle make then you have a valuable diag equipment for future use

My BMW 1996 318i won't seem to start. Sometimes it would but most of the time I'm stuck trying start it, battery seems fine radio etc works, engine won't turn over though. Don't know what the problem

i see dash lights on when you try start engine.could have faulty starter relay or bad starter solenoid or starter bad.use a 12 volts test light see if power going to starter.if starter circuit okay could have theft security problems because BMWS did have theft security key ignition system back in 1994.
