BMW X3 starting problem after engine change
(Translated from Romanian)
Summary of the thread
After changing the engine in a 2006 BMW X3, the vehicle no longer starts automatically and requires manual intervention with a wire to start. The starter motor, relays, and fuses have been checked and are functioning properly. A suggested solution is to inspect the ignition switch and its wiring for faults or loose connections, as these could be causing the starting issue. Ensuring all connections are secure and checking for wear or damage may resolve the problem.

Make sure to also inspect the ground connections, as a poor ground can cause starting issues. Check for any corrosion or loose connections at the battery terminals and grounding points. Let us know how it goes or if you need more help!
