HI Laurens,
did you press the black button?
The "accident switch" could be activated after a strong ride or a "hit".
Just press it and find out if the M3W starts after it.

Sorry i have only a picture of the part from my ARP4 (my M3W is on service)
The black part with the soft surface in the middle of the picture - the same part in M3W...
Good luck - Thorsten

It's the inertia cut-off switch and on the M3W is in front of the battery on the right hand side partially under the oil tank. Press the rubber top and if you hear and feel a click that's probably the issue.

Today same problem again. Didn't start. No fuel pump sound.
After 10 minutes the pump suddenly run again.
Went home, switched the engine off once during the trip ( no problem to start ) when home switched off the engine and try to start again but no fuel pump sound, so couldn't start. After half hour without touching the car still no fuel pump. I left the car without touching or move it. Waited one hour more, turn on key and the pump was running again. Uhhhhhh.
What can make this problem ??

Check the wires, but as you said at times i guess the fuel pump is going.

First of all get the fuel pump pressure checked. Should be about 58psi...mine was 10psi

My fuel pump also had a loose connection on the pump - within the fuel tank. Might be worth removing the pump and having a look if the pressure is ok. There are good descriptions of how to remove a pump on here

If all ok I would get the ECU checked

Had the same problem , turned out to be a bad earth on the earthing bar located behind the seat back (2012 version) made good since then no problem.you could try putting another earth on the pump to see if that clears it.
