this actually happened on my 300e for its entire life.. I just turned the key to start and held it there until the second start.. I could hear it fire up but it would die and then in a second it would fire up again.. I put over 200k on the car and never had any ill effects from starting it like that.. Mercedes says it can take up to 5 seconds of starting for the car to run normally. I know its doesnt seem normal but I replaced almost EVERYTHING trying to solve it without success.
