Having Problems Starting The Car

Sorry meant to say.

He mentioned the key barrel chip reader might not be working correctly.

Any updates on your issue? My 04 X3 has the same problem.

I occasionally have this issue with my 06. The car attempts to crank and start but the engine never fires. I move the key back to position 1 and try again and the car fires immediately. This happened about 4 times between 20,000 - 33,000 (current) miles.

I talked to the stealer about it, and they did not seem to care as it did not do it in front of them.
