    turning over

    I have just tried to start my series 3 I haven’t used it in about 3 weeks, as it turned over the battery slowly went flat then I started to get smoke from the engine bay so I removed the key but it carried on turning over, any idea what’s wrong, its a 2.25 diesel if it makes any differance
