Wierd-I just registered to ask this very question...
My 240d will do that, and did last night. Only seems to happen after a good long highway drive. Never has happened after driving less than 45 minutes or so.
I hear the click, but nothing else. Battery and Alternator seem fine. But jumpstarting sometimes helps, sometimes doesn't.
cycle they key - might take a number of times. this has never failed to start the car for me. invariably it happens after a long highway run especially in the summer with high ambient temps.
it has happened in winter though not as often. as far as i know
the solenoid gets stuck from the heat and won't engage the starter.
