Mini Won't Start!!!!!

Alright guys, I started my 04 Mini Cooper S this morning and there was nothing. Its not the battery because all my electronics still work and when I attepted to jump it, nothing changed. I think its the starter because every time I turn the key I hear about 2-3 "clicks". If anyone can help me to lacate what the problem is it would be much appreciated.

I had the same issue and it was my battery dying, it was a bad cell. I still had power when I turned the key 1/2 way but starting would click-click-click

Perhaps it's worth getting the battery checked out.
