Check the battery voltage; I've seen them turn over but be too weak to give an adequate spark. Check coil output.
Might help if you mention the model and engine.

Er see subject - 1985 BMW 735i - so it is an E23 with an M30 engine.
Charge up the battery with a charger and see what happens.
thanks, i've tried another coil and new battery,
