For me, putting the key in the slot by the cup-holders doesn't help, but the door trick has been working. It's a really strange quirk and it sucks because in the back of your mind, you never know when you might get stranded somewhere
Like a proper sports car!!! The real excitement comes from never quite knowing if you’re going to be driving the same car home…

I've tried remote starting it with the app and that doesn't work either. The car has thrown two separate errors:
  1. "Apply parking break, vehicle may roll away" (but the parking break WAS applied)
  2. "Transmission overheated. Pull over immediately and leave engine running" (The engine was not running and the transmission was at 167F which is not overheated)
I'm hoping the computer is just glitching out. Has any one had a similar experience? How should I troubleshoot this?

Thanks!
I’ve had something similar happen a few days ago to my 2020 E63s. Drove 5 min to grab a coffee, upon getting back all electronics turned on like you said but the engine just didn’t crank. I locked and unlocked. Tried again and same thing. Ubered home to grab a jump start battery pack thing and when I got back the car started up like nothing ever happened.. no issues since then either

Not that I’m much of a mechanic but I think it may be spark plugs

this happens often on my 2018. next time just crack the drivers door, then press the start button. should fire right up.

the car gets out of sync sometimes. no idea why. but starting with door open makes my car fire up 100% of the time and this happens twice a month. fwiw I did plugs 4 months ago and this had no bearing on how often this occurs.
