1985 BMW 325e will not start
rcaf arrow:
The clicking sound id probably your starter solenoid. Tis solenoid is actually a relay that connects your starter to the battery so the starter can turn the engine over to get it started.
Try knocking the starter with a hammer, (not real hard, just kinda medium) and see if that makes a difference
I suspect your starter is going bad.
Any indication of prior problems with starting?????

My 325E BMW is not starting
check to see if the raised pin on the fly wheel has has broke off. to do that you, take out the position sensor on the bell housing & look on the flywheel to see if it is there. your have to manually turn the engine whale somebody else looks to see if the pin is still there. if it is not. where it is suppose to be, just put a sheet metal screw in its place. by taking a long drill bit and drilling it out to put the screw. try and see if that's the problem
Steering wheel logo center piece replacement BMW
if you can find a replacement logo you can super glue it back on but they probably dont sell just the logo so youll have to replace it with a new airbag which will have the logo already on it. (just another way to get money from you is all).
Hi my bmw 316i 1600
run the fault codes
problems with running rich include:-
injectors not working properly
excessive fuel pressure
leaking injector seals
heated oxygen sensor failure ( they are located in the exhaust manifold /pipe before the cat converter and are used to read the exhaust gas composition and report to the ECM which adjusts the air/fuel mixture accordingly
ambient air /BARO sensor which report the air temp/pressure to again allow the ECM to set mixture
The strong fuel smell can be from fuel leaks , flooding --as stated with injectors or an EVAP system vent solenoid problem
The first 4 possibles would be the most obvious place to start especially with a fault code reading
