Just took my M2 off the dealer's lot last Saturday (11/11). In the past few days, I've been experiencing similar issues outlined in this thread: https://g80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1940488.

After warming the engine up to working temperature and then shutting it off for a short period to run some grocery errands, I encountered difficulties starting the engine. It struggled with very long cranks, similar to the ones shown in these videos: https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B0NGdFryYGqLg3x.

With only 189 miles on the odometer, my frustration is immense at this point. Scheduled a service appointment today; let's see what the dealer will say.

I have the same issue with 135 miles on the dash. Any luck figuring it out?

After reading your post yesterday morning -- and the #1 post and viewing/listening to the video at the link provided in the post -- later in the afternoon when I used my M2 I paid particular attention to the start.

In no way do I get the impression the start is abnormal.

Furthermore, since April 14, 2023 (when I bought the car) I have had my M2 in a number of times for out of schedule oil/filter services, CBS services, two tire punctures. A number of dealer service employees have started the engine and I would expect if the starting behavior was out of the ordinary it would have been brought to my attention.

That being said you can of course arrange to demo the starting behavior to the service staff of your dealer and get a professional opinion.

Have you experienced this start? My car runs and drives perfectly fine but it’s odd to me that it start quickly sometimes but slowly other times.
