325I doesnt start after valvetronic sensor replacement

Hello, earlier today i opened the valve cover, replaced the sensor and torqued the valve cover back again.

Gaskets were replaced a week ago so i was not worried about that. But when i tried to turn the car on it didnt want to.

The rpm needle is moving and it goes up to about 1000 rpm and then down to zero. I tried multiple times up to 30 sec without it turning on.

Has anyone had this exact problem? My valevtronic motor is completely broken (the spindle is broken clean off), but i have started the car without the motor plugged in before.

PLEASE HELP i am a first time bmw owner. Ive owned this car for about two weeks and i have spend 0 seconds over 60 mph.

It has been in limp mode since i bought it and now it dpesnt even start.
Appreciate 0
