So... i brought a house few months back and a neighbor across the street had a 94 e36 318is sat on his drive and after introducing myself we got talking about the car and he brought it NEW but a few years ago his father in law gave them a newer car so he parked it up. By the end of the conversation he'd given me the car as he wanted to see something be done with it...

if it has the mechanical MAF, check the flap moves and check the fuel pumps pumping. very basic engines tbo supprised it isnt just running.

Sniff of easystart is a useful diagnostic aid to be honest

brake clean works too.. its what I use, as its always to hand, almost never have easystart about. just make sure its not chlorinated (I believe chlorinated brake clean is illegal these days or certainly very uncommon) but check the label anyways.

Are the e36 keys the same as the 46, recharged of an induction loop around the ignition? If the key battery is dead it might effectively be emobilised (fuel pump disabled from the ecu) as the chip isn’t being read.

fuel pumps an easy one to check id take a look there, but you should be able to hear it with the ignition on without even getting the multi-meter out.

If you’ve just got a “basic” key I’d guess that’s possibly your issue. If the previous owner can’t locate the master key your into a world of pain and expense getting another one from Coopers (they’re the worst main dealer I’ve dealt with). From memory it was £250 and a couple of days shipping from Germany, you’ll have to go over in person to order and again to collect the new key.

the rechargeable keys were never used on E36's the E36s had keys with passive transponders, and the first generation EWS system.
