05 x3 turns over but won't start

Hi everyone, my wife called me at work this morning to tell me our x3 (apprx 65k miles on it) won't start. It had it's battery replaced a year ago & she said it turns over strong, just won't actually start. Any thoughts on what the problem could be? Thanks a lot.

Have you had any luck? If it cranks strong and you have lights and battery - it might be a fuel problem. It might be worth adding a few gallons of fuel and giving it a try.

Good luck. Let us know how it works out.

I had the same problem on my X3. They replaced the fuel pump but stil the same problem. They found the fuel pump relay faulty.
