OK so 2 days ago I was washing my car, a 1994 BMW 325 IS automatic. After I finished washing it I tried to start it and it would try to start but would not turn over. I tried all day yesterday to get it to start and it kept doing the same thing, all the lights and power came on. I tried jumping it and that didnt do anything. Today I went out ant tried it again and it sounded like it was gonna start then it just quit. PLEASE HELP ME!

I am sorry to tell you this but what has happened is that water has gotten into the engine electronics (called the DME) and damaged it. There are a couple of options.
One would be to replace the DME with a new unit from BMW, the second option would be to repair the DME.
I have seen this occur many times and know of a reputable repair facility. Also to prevent future problems there is a bulletin from BMW regarding the drainage of the E-box. We may need to correspond to fix your car.
