My BMW R1100 RT motorbike spluttered a bit then stopped and all electric power was lost. Freshly serviced with new battery and alternator belt, fuses look ok. Any ideas?

had the same problem with an s80 this week- no warning lights nothing. was the regulator. when you have it fixed cancel all the trouble codes as when voltage is low everything registrs low signal input and makes the car go into get me home mode.

you have a short to ground somewhere. Look for worn wires, loose connections, any work recently done.

Sounds like either the battery leads are on the wrong way round, or the starter main cable is touching something and shorting to earth. Retrace your steps and check your connection locations.
Either that or its a dead short through the starter. Remove main cable from back of starter and tape up incase of short. then reconnect battery. If ok now then your looking at starter motor.

i have a 325i bmw convertible and by mistake i pulled the release bar under the back seat and detached the motor for the convertible and know it doesnt want to open or close the convertible

SOURCE: car will not start

Try running a wire from the little terminal of the starter motor to the Positive on the battery , Disconnect the little wire thats on there first.No need to turn the key on as we are bypassing this.This should cause the starter to turn.Make sure that if its a manual that its in Neutral.
If the starter motor turns then the problem is either the relay or the ignition switch.Or if its an automatic Transmission it could be the inhibitor switch .
Hope this helps
