1998 E430 intermittent no-start

Car runs great, 180K, on two occasions over the last couple of days when I turn the key I get full lights but no crank. Try a couple of times and the car will crank normally. Car runs perfectly otherwise, no driveability issues. Thanks for your input.

Could be all sorts of expensive things associated with your drive authorization system--ignition switch or K40 neither in my opinion is an easy DIY----remember you have to test the system or what the hell just change both!!
