I picked up a 2013 10 Series with a manual transmission for my son about a week ago, and we were having our first long driving session today (previously he's only done a few parking lot sessions--a couple in another car, and one in this car). Of course, he stalled the car quite a few times. This car has the push button start, and sometimes it would restart immediately, and sometimes it would not restart at all, which I found disconcerting, as we were blocking a few intersections (and took a good bit of honking, LOL).

So, my question is, is there something we are doing wrong with the push button, or some specific sequence that needs to be followed to make it start immediately? I pressed the button myself from the passenger seat with my son depressing the clutch and brake, no joy; I jumped out and into the driver seat, and one time it immediately started, a second time (pulling into our driveway no less), it took a little longer bit of waiting and pressing the button and pedals to get it to work again.

Thanks in advance!
