Abut two weeks ago when i pushed the remote key in , and pressed start , the engine wouldn't start but after 3-4 other tries it suddenly did.
Today i had the same problem once again. After i was finished washing my car, i got in and tried to start it but it wouldn't. Everything looked like the usual process unlocked the car, pushed the remote key in, seats changed to the way i have them saved, lights and the idrive turned on, But when i hit the brakes and pressed start it just wouldn't start.
After 20 mins of trying i decided to browse online about the same problem and found a post in another bmw forum saying to hold unlock button than press lock 3 times. I did that and surprisingly the engine started.
Am not sure if its the battery because when i got the car 8 months ago the dealer changed it with a new one, and i don't think its the sparking plugs either cause on the idrive it says i have 32000 more miles before changing them.
What do you guys think could be the problem here?
Thanks.
