Default '95 ti won't start all of a sudden

I have a '95 318ti CS that has been my daily driver for the past 16 years. I have 208k on it. Just this morning I go out to start it and it cranks over fine but no start. Doesn't even try. I tried a couple of times and could smell some gas. let it sit for couple of hours and got back to looking at it. Pulled one of the plugs and smelled like fuel. Best guess I am getting fuel. I would think if I have fuel, it turns over and if I had spark it would start. I'm thinking no spark. Anyone have an easy way to test for spark by yourself? If it is truly no spark, suggestions on where to look.

Some additional information. Then car did sit overnight and we had some very wet snow. Water in the ECM?? gonna check this one.

Thanks for the help.

Todd
