Helpline: BMW Helpline, how can I help you?
Customer: I got in my car, closed the door, and nothing happened!
Helpline: Did you put the key in the ignition and turn it?
Customer: What's an ignition
Helpline: It's a starter motor that draws current from the battery and turns over the engine.
Customer: Ignition? Motor? Battery? How come I have to know all of these
technical terms just to use my car?

Helpline: There's a guage on the dashborad with a needle and markings from "E" to "F". What does it read?

worked for a while and then it hit a wall. Now it won't start.
