Anyone near you with an E36 318? Takes five minutes to swap coils and see if that is the issue. If it were the EWS, you wouldn't be getting fuel and probably wouldn't even trun over. Coils can fail mysteriously, suddenly and I have never been a fan of proving it's a good coil by checking the resistance as I have seen them test that way 100% but still be a bad coil.
The other issue that comes to mind is the wiring to the coil, if you have a break somewhere that could answer the question, but that is going to be hard to find if it is the issue.
Sorry I'm not of much help, but kind of hard to diagnose this from 3k miles away. __________________
