Hello everybody, i just purchased my first M5 its a 2000 black on black with OE M6 wheels. I have owned a 2003 M3 SMG for ever and i decided to try out this M5. There is a problem though, and yes i searched all over but i got nothing all i get is car wont turn on because of dead battery or car cranks but does not turn on, i dont even know what to type for this problem.
Problem: The car will not start when i turn the key all the way normally.
Problem Details: I get in the car, press the clutch, put the key in ignition, then turn the key all the way to crank position....... nothing happens. its just like if i put the key in position 1.
Weird way to turn on: The only way the car turns on is if i turn the key all the way with extreme force and both hands while pushing the key forward...then it turns on.
My first thought is the ignition switch, but the guy i bought it from said its the key thats low in battery, but the keyless doesnt even work from the key, the key is missing the unlock button also. Its very difficult with this car because everytime i go somewhere it takes me like 10-15 minutes to turn the car on.... If anybody can please help me if you know of a similar problem that you have experienced or if you know what this solution is please share it with me. I have always wanted an M5 but now im like " bummer"
Any and all help is greately appreciated.
