BMW fuel supply system failure causing the car not to start may be due to a dead battery. Below are the possible reasons for BMW fuel supply system failure: 1. Check if the battery has power: This could be caused by leaving the headlights on for too long, resulting in a drained battery, or the battery may have reached the end of its lifespan. It is generally recommended to replace the battery every 2 years. Additionally, installing xenon headlights, high-power audio systems, or DVD players can also lead to vehicle circuit failures. Checking for a dead battery is simple—just press the horn to find out. 2. Check if there is fuel: If the fuel gauge shows the level below the red line, the car naturally won't start. Also, pay attention to the quality of the fuel. Always refuel at reputable gas stations. When traveling, you can use a gauze wrapped around the fuel nozzle to filter out impurities. 3. Lack of antifreeze: Some car owners use water or low-quality antifreeze, which can cause the entire cooling system to freeze in extremely cold winter conditions. This can lead to a cracked engine, a non-functional water pump, and the car not starting, potentially damaging other engine components.

BMW won't start, fuel supply system failure reasons I've experienced several times, mainly the fuel pump was broken, no buzzing sound when starting, most likely an electrical circuit or the pump itself is the problem, spent quite a bit on repairs. Also, injector clogging, low-quality fuel with many impurities causing severe carbon buildup, unable to spray fuel naturally leads to no start. Fuel filter not replaced for too long and completely blocked, poor fuel flow, my friend also encountered this and it was fixed by replacing the new filter. Too much sediment accumulation in the fuel tank or low fuel level can also affect fuel supply. For safety, don't randomly attempt to start, promptly call a tow truck to a professional shop, they have tools for diagnosis, pressure testing, and fault codes. BMW repairs are expensive but prevention is key, usually add good fuel and regular maintenance to avoid these issues.
