e36 no spark, no fuel, no reading from computer?

Hi I have a 1995 BMW 325is and it will crank over but it will not start. Here is what i do know...

No Power to the Fuel Pump
No Spark
No communication with the computer

The problem happened all of a sudden. i drove to a friends house, parked (it was raining) came back four hours later and it would not start. took it to my work the next day to trouble shoot and i was getting no power to the fuel pump and i was getting no spark at all. Checked fuses and relays and they are all good. after doing research a lot of people have problems with the crankshaft position sensor and that has been replaced and the problem continued.

Took it to a family retired mechanic for help and he cant get any reading when he plugs is computer into the car. DME problem possibly? can get a used one for around 20 bucks at the BMW recycling guys. any ideas before i start throwing parts at the problem?

one again no fuel, no spark, no fault codes / reading out of computer, new crank position sensor.

Any help would be great im in desperate need to get back and forth to college!

Thank You for Your Time,
Justin

did you check to make sure you have power at the main relay? you need to diagnose the problem systematicaly starting at the source and eliminating as you go.
