Re: [bmw] E30 dead

It could be a problem with the neutral safety switch, which prevents the 
engine from turning over if the transmission is not in Park or Neutral.  Try 
moving the gear shift lever into either Park or Neutral positions and see if 
the car will start.  If not, the next step would be to temporarily bypass 
the switch and see if the problem goes away.

A starter won't fail abruptly, so check the easy stuff first.
