For a couple of days now I have a strange behaviour of my 4/4 Sport.

When starting the car I turn the ignition key and the lights go on as usual. So far so good.... but then there's nothing else, the car won't start when turning the key further. Zero reaction.

Turn the ignition off and on again and it starts completely normal.

This happens only when the car was left alone for a while, i.e. over night. After this 'wake-up phase' it starts always on the first attempt until you let it again sit for some time...

I am very familiar with all the 'usual suspects' like an old battery or a stuck starter. But this seems to be something electric/electronic (ignition switch, immobiliser...).

Did somebody experience similar problems?
