Picked up a 330i Touring on Saturday.

All was good, got in this morning and it wont start...

It turns over but does not fire into action. No clicking sound and I connected it the e30 battery to see if there was a battery issue but still did not fire into action.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My brothers e46 320i 2.2 has this same problem during winter time, I believe it's one of the fuel pumps playing up when it's cold. I usually get it fired up by cranking it and holding the gas pedal down, it splutters a bit an fires right up, then is fine for about 6 months.! Try that.
