    HELP: 2001 BMW 325i won't start

    so my car isn't starting. In the last days, my car wouldn't start until i had to use jumper cables. And every now and then it would start with no problem.
    Now i need jumper cables again, and I don't know what it is. there is still charge on the battery since the lights and radio still works. and I replaced the alternator within a year.

    can someone help me out??

    The current draw of the starter is much much greater than that of all the other electronics in the car combined. Just because the lights and radio work means nothing. Get the battery load tested at a parts store ...
