thanks guys... yea i think its a prloblem with the fuel system I removed the rear seat and put my ear to the area where the fuel pump is and dont hear anything. The ignition i believe works and I have 3/4 of a tank of gas with only about 75-80 miles on the current tank.... A BMW mech who is a friend of a friend is coming over tomorrow to look at the car for me as a favor.. will update later
