This BMW has been sitting for about 3 months without running and when I tried starting it recently,I could get it to start.I just cranks but wont start.I tried starting fluid abd checking my spark plugs but none of that helped.It was running fine before I stopped using it when gas shot up.What could be the problem?

It is a 530 not a 535. The problem could be anything, have you access to scanning software? If not, you are going to need it to isolate the problem.
