Hello I have a bmw 325i and I took my car to get the engine cleaned out and then two days later the car did not want to start up. I took a pry bar and I hit the starter and the car started right away. So I thought the starter went out because it got wet. So I changed the starter and the car still does not start. So I was wondering if you guys can help me out figure out what is wrong with this car. Thanks!
