Please excuse the English posting, my German is not good enough for technical questions.
My E30 325iA has now failed to start on two occasions. Both times were very similar. First a long drive (1hr) to a car show. Then very slow stop-start traffic to get into the show (checking tickets, finding the right club stand etc). Then once I stopped I needed to start the car within about 5 minutes to move it into position on the stand. Both times all I got was a loud click and nothing else. This is then followed by general laughter and abuse from other classic car owners, followed by pushing the car into place. Then later in the day it starts perfectly as if nothing had happened.
What's wrong ? Old starter motor overheating ? Starter motor solenoid overheating ?
