Start up issue

Hey everyone i have a 2008 e90 m3 and I'm having trouble with the start up. When I push the start button it cranks but doesn't start, after I push it a second time it starts right up. The car was driven all day then set for an hour the first time it gave me trouble, the second time it sat for 30 mins in less than 3 hours. Im running a stage 2 bpm sport tune with turner test pipes and acm mod and a AA drop in filter. If anyone could lead me in the right direction i would greatly appreciate it, thank you

Are you keeping your foot on the brake the entire time? If I take mine off early it'll stop starting

Could be a bad idle control valve.
