I'm going to go out on a limb and say my car is fixed. This is the part that fixed it.

I had a similar problem:
2008 550i 6sp MT
without warning, it would just not start. Everything was normal in the cabin and there were no errors--the engine would just not crank. Like there was no power to the starter. Sometimes it would happen and then start after 2-5 retries. occasionally I would have to retry for 10-15 minutes before it would start. Then it would go days to weeks without any problem. I started to get more frequent. I took it to an indie shop and the only thing they found was 9 errors on the starter (about the number of no start episodes). They replaced it 2 weeks ago (after market warranty paid the $1300+). No problems since, but I am still holding my breath every time I hit the start button.
They said the starter is buried deep under the car.
