The obvious first solution is to properly bleed all the air out of the fuel lines which would take some time which we didn’t have. A borked ECU however is more of a headache than I fancied. But either way, can’t buy what you can’t drive away and we didn’t come with a trailer. There was the chance of having his pants down on price if we did get it running.
But we didn’t, lol.

These stories make me realise I'm a terrible car buyer because I'd still be there trying to get it running so I can drive it home and just assume I can sort it later for a reasonable amount of money.
Couple of mates are big BMW diesel nerds so I'd have been straight onto the phone with them trying to work out if it's a common issue and what we can do to rectify it 😂
