Thanks for constructive argument.

Sounds like you blew a gasket check for oil and coolant mix, maybe just an intake problem hopefully.

>>>/out/

M52 engine with external crank sensor? If so look there first, pretty much all e30/36/46 gen cars won't run if the cps goes bad.

Does the fuel pump run?

Bother are common as fuck and give the symptoms you describe, may not have been clutch slip you felt but a loss of power due to the issue.

I had an 88 635 csi. Total shitbox.

engine wont start while clutch is pressed in and its in neutral, does this rule out the clutch? i think not.

Clutch should not stop it from starting unless us cars have a start inhibit switch.
Are you saying no start regardless of what you do with the clutch? No joy clutch in or out?
The clutch on these should be a dumb system, I have fires them up with no clutch or box before.

The crank sensors tend to fail slow and cause bad running before they go, what happens is they stop picking up the teeth as well, causes a loss of power feeling, bit like clutch slip.
When you turn it off and try to restart the teeth are no moving fast enough while cranking for the dying sensor to register them and give a signal.

First thing to check is you have spark and fuel
No spark = crank sensor
No fuel = pump most likely.

Turns out I ran out of petrol.
problem solved, thank you tho!
just filled her in with sweet 95 octane
and runs great

High octane is only for high compression engines to reduce knock.
Youre just pissing your hosepower away at extra cost

I have an 07 530i, love it dearly

Reliability really depends on the specific engine with the germans
