Hello
Thanks a lot for the question,
Can you write here the fault codes received?
The CAS serves as an antitheft alarm system and enables the start of BMW vehicles. A transponder chip is integrated in each of the vehicle keys. A ring coil is fitted about the ignition lock.
Can you try with the second key as well?
Thanks,

2A39 Valvetronic, adjustment range.
Instrument Cluster Can communication.
It sound like the ECU needs replacing, because there are a lot of errors that don't make sense. Did you service it regularly?

OK, in that case there is a problem with either the valvetronic system or the ECM. You need to tow it to a dealer, so the valvetronic system is inspected. If everything is ok, most likely it is the ECM that has died.

Sorry I was very busy, I check Basics, Gas, Spark, compression, I have everything right, just like to mention, when I pull off the fuel pump Fuse is trying to start up, but if install back feels and smell like Flooded, that mean something to you, this something weird, Plugs are brand new, any other ideas.

OK, in that case the ECM is the suspect here!
