2006 r53 died while driving no start help please

Long time lurker and first time posting.


I have a 2006 mini cooper s jcw and she was running great but just shut off while driving and wont start back up. Sometimes it sounds like it wants to crank now but more of a couple of clicking sounds. I can hear the fuel pump when i turn the key. The fuel pump and filter was changed about 3k miles ago along with the entire fuel system. Also has a new battery. I tried the old battery too but both doesn’t change anything and theyre both fully charged. Prior to this no start problem it was randomly stalling while driving and was hard to start at times. I replaced the crankshaft position sensor and it resolved that issue. I iust installed a new ignition switch in hopes it was just that but it didn’t work either. Any suggestions?? Ive done all the maintenance and repairs since i bought the car 5 years ago but this has me stumped.

Thank you so much, any ideas or tips would be greatly appreciated 🙏

This happened to my car as well. For me it was a blown fuse in the engine compartment fuse box. Look for fuse F3 and check to see if it is blown.

Hope this helps?!
