I am starting down the same path of no starting. Your post has been very informative. My issue is complete no power front the car at all as if no battery is attached but battery is fine and was replaced twice and tested to confirm it was not the battery. Can't be boosted. Dealer has checked the connections and tightened down everything, reregistered the battery, no codes have ever registers whenever this has happened. They think it might be the CAS but can a faulty CAS cause complete no power? Can a bad IBS do the same?

So here is the question. Does your key fob open the door?

Unfortunately mine is intermittent. Similar symptoms, it will start, park car for a few hours, come back, no power at all, then next day power is back and you can start the car!

I want to clear something. When you say there is no power, Can you describe this? Like no power at all like dead? Or at least you can unlock the car? One of the first thing Go to Recall center : http://www.bmwusa.com/standard/conte...eoverride=true Write your last 7 Digit to find out is there any battery cable or some sort of recall for your vehicle. My suggestion is go to eBay and look for ISTA BMW Diagnostic tool so u can purchase one of them and follow the instruction to set this system in your computer. Once you complete it, you will wait to replicate the issue and connect this cable to your car and start diagnosing the way i did. That way you can see everything LIVE and can easily find out which module or terminal is not responding! Note : If you are having a dead battery symptom, i can't promise this cable will work or not during this problem! I never experienced this one /:

Thanks, I will try this. Issue for me is that when there is no power, the car acts like there is no battery attached. It does have comfort access. When you go to the car, nothing is on, need to use key hole to open the door. When you check the battery it is fully charged and the when you try to boost, nothing happens. Wondering if it is a bad ground but all battery cables were retightened. Can't really use a scanner because the OBD port gets no power.

Car is still at dealer, will definitely updated once it comes back. Hopefully this week but they did mention they thought it could be the CAS.

I wanna know how they test it during this problem! Can you please ask them, when the issue was persist, were you able to read the data from the OBD II? If so which modules did responded? (If car can not turn on at all, many modules will not respond). I am still curious about do you have voltage under the hood during this time period!

Not sure they have replicated the problem which is why they are suggesting CAS. They did say the trouble shooting manual to confirm if it was the IBS cable, there would still be some fault lights which there were none.

If it was not under the warranty they would ask you to replace it right now! And who said that it could be the CAS? I do not trust anyone, esp. BMW SERVICE ADVISORS. Oh God, They all need advice! I ask them specific questions and all i hear is, We are here to make money sir, and honestly i do not know your answer! Really! I will work at the BMW Dealer and i will not study my homework! Looks so funny and they literally don't know anything about the car!

Well it will sit a few days after I pick it up so it will be a good test if it solves the problem or not as it seems to come back after short amount of inactivity.

So I picked up my car today. They could not replicate the problem but still changed out the IBS cable(61-12-7-616-200) and adaptor leads. I will see how it goes the next few weeks.

Update, after a short bit of success. Left car for 4 days with car on battery tender to make sure it is not battery related. Come back Monday and it starts but today I drive to work. Go to car, does not unlock and alarm is going off. Use key to get in, car is complete dead like before. I get a multimeter and check front boost point as well as battery. 12.4 volts at front terminals so battery is good. I attach booster and it does not work. So left car in lot and will get towed to dealer again tomorrow. This is getting crazy.
Does anyone know if there could be a faulty alarm sensor that goes off and puts car in a mode that turns off all power? Other thing I am thinking is that even though the M3 is not included in the positive cable/fuse box issue, I am thinking since it was built in the same period and is basically a 3 series there, it has to be impacted as well. Going to try and shake the box, if it starts after that, has to be the same issue.

Mmm. I am telling you you need to diagnose the way i did! Do not trust dealer either! They will not spend time like you do! You should see the live terminal values when the car acting like this! You may think car act totally like dead but you may also get some electricity on some terminals during that time! Did Dealer gave you any information about terminals? Did you ask them any question about getting any electric on terminals?
