    07 e90 won’t crank

    2007 328xi N51 6 spd manual.
    I have been searching and have a foxwell tool. On lunch break I went to get parts for sons dirt bike and when going to start car no cranking. I popped the hood and noticed serp belt tensioner loose and belt starting to walk off. Got tensioner fixed and although belt didn’t come off I figured something told the car not to start because of the belt slipping.
    Now car won’t start still and checking codes I am seeing 0% oil monitor and cas code for starter. Could the belt be a coincidence? I recently did the oil service and I reset the monitors but the oil service kept coming back on, like the clearing of it didn’t stay. Warning would come on, did check control and most times it would say check ok and clear but would come back on. Getting cc id-41 and scan tool said it couldn’t clear the oil monitor.
    I am not very familiar but trying my best and seems like people have been able to push start and I’m going to try that when I can get a ride to car. What else can I try or look for? I will have to get a flatbed to bring to my dad’s shop. Going crazy and head is spinning reading all the different possibilities. Thanks for any help!

    Sounds like the starter failed. It's probably as simple as that.

    Yeah, you got it! Replaced starter, battery and ground cable. Now I cannot get the ccid-41 code to stay cleared. Comes back on start up. Any ideas?

    ccid-41? Need to be a little more specific than that. I have no idea what that is.
