BMW 3 Ignition On but Engine Won't Crank

I own a 2003 BMW 3 with 191,000 km on it, and I'm experiencing some issues. The battery seems weak when starting the engine, and now the car won't start at all. The ignition is on, but the engine won't crank. What could be causing this problem, and what steps should I take to diagnose or fix it?

Summary of the thread

The issue with the 2003 BMW 3 is that the ignition is on, but the engine won't crank, possibly due to a weak battery. The suggested steps include checking the battery connections for cleanliness and tightness and attempting to jump-start the car. If the car starts with a jump, the battery may be weak or failing and might need replacement.

Start by checking the battery connections to ensure they are clean and tight. If the connections are fine, try jump-starting the car to see if it starts. If it does, the battery might be weak or failing and may need replacement. Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions!
