Nope, nothing wrong or disconnected, just a diagnostics socket.

Re: not to sure what this is
Im sure someone on here can identify your starting issues.
Out of interest does anyone know what info that plug can actually provide?

Re: not to sure what this is
apparently it just picks up bad o2 sensors and when your oil needs changing?

Re: not to sure what this is
from what i have read the fuel pump will only run if the ignition is working as there is a connection from the ignition module to the fuel pump relay ... if you need a wireing diagram i have one for a american spec 320i 81-83 that i could email to you !

Re: not to sure what this is
Take the fuel line off under the bonnet and check you've got fuel supply / pressure.
