2018 MINI cooper not starting after front crash

[Thiss098]

Hi everyone, wondering if anyone can help.


So i have purchased a project F56 Mini JCW Manual that has been crashed.


The car was involved in a front end collision.


Airbags have been deployed.


I am unable to get the car started, no crank whatsoever.


When i turn on ignition i think i can hear the fuel pumps.

Car should have pyrofuse near battery. It should blown after crash, you can replace it or put there some metal to avoid it temporary until you get new pyrofuse.

Pyrofuse can be buy in China, or usually it's same as Volkswagen, so you can buy from VW dealer. Because in BMW you need to buy whole fuse box.
And for VW pyrofuse, you need to replace connector colored "ring" from your to new one with small modification (cut one "key").

And also sometimes FEM/BDC blocks. One time I just get BDC from car and put it again and it started working (I'm not sure if relay was stiched or what...). FEM is on bottom of A pillar on passenger side (big usually white control unit, approx 30x15x2 cm).
