Can someone explain this??
I'd say about once every 12 to 15 starts, I turn the key and I get the initial starter engagement and that's it. It is the same thing you get when you try to start a car with a practically dead battery. After this failed attempt I simply turn the key to the off position and restart the car without a problem.
Anyone experience this? Ideas as to what causes it? Thanks and have a great July 4th!

Mine did that too. I never gave it a second thought, though, cause it worked if you just tried starting it again.

The starter is fine, a friend at work says it may have something to do with the pushing of the lock/alarm button on the key while trying to start. Possibly this is causing the computer to get mixed signals or something. Hell if I know

My 4.4i did it and my 4.6is does it. I'm not sure what causes it. I didn't think it would happen on the 4.6is since it has convience start. I guess it's not a big deal. After it happens, it starts right up. Now I really won't worry too much since it's not just me
with the issue...............Phil

I get it.. a lot.
Sometimes when I'm driving and M mode, and I come to a stop sign, the car will stall and then shut off. I'm not worried, just a simple take out the key, put it back in and restart works fine. I never knew my BMW ran Windows  But in the end of the day, I knew I'd have problems with my X5, mainly because it wasn't a Lexus
