Car started this morning and... 700 90

Started my 1990 740 GLE/16 Valve this morning and went to the Post Office before going to work this morning. I went inside for about 3 minutes and came back outside and jumped in my car.

It cranked but, would not turn over. Now this has my full attention. I am thinking AMM but, no indication car was running smoothly; timing belt --oh, s*** interference engine. I don't want to crank it again. I am now afraid. What to do? I smoke 3 cigarettes trying to make up my mind. I call in to work and say I am not going to make it. Smoke another cigarette.

I call AAA. One hour has elapsed since I got into my car. I try to start car again and it starts and dies. I sit for a minute and try again it starts and runs longer and dies. I wait another minute it starts and stays running.

I drive home and now I am podering what is wrong with my baby? I can not decide if it was a fluke or Do I have bad spark plugs, wires, rotor, or distributor?
