Hey guys,

For about 1 year i own a 318D e90/ 2008.

Never had any problem with this car, especiall with start/stop until recently when i was waiting in line, engine stopped and when i pressed the clutch my car didn't start. I pull out the key, plugged it back in and no success.

i had to push the car on the edge of the road and figure out what the hell was wrong with it. I start digging for fuses to check all 5 or 6 fuses for start/stop have any problem. I checked them all and it was all fine, none blown. Thing is after i pulled them all out and put them back in, the car started in a bit, like before, like nothing happend.

So the question is: wtf happened? and why have i "solved" this issues by a force restart

It was a glitch on ECU? can that happen?

Additional question: i saw on forums that the button that you press, next to gear knob for start/stop is on, as in this function won't work if it's pressed, but at my car is not the same. I have to press this button everytime i start the car, the led on the button lights on and only then my car won't stop when i stop.

Is there a setting i can do to cancel this function? Now that i had this problem i'm thinking it could happen again in a busy day and i don't wanna risk that.

When you put the key back in and tried to start it again, did you hear any clicking noises or was it completely silent?

yes, i've heard the fuel pump running and clicking noise as in a relay or something, but nothing else. After i pulled out the fuses and plugged them back in it started like a charm, with no problems.
