Steps...
1) hit start button once to turn on power (Don't start the engine)
2) then press the accelerator down to the floor for 5 sec
3) then hit start button once to turn off power
4) then remove foot from accelerator
5) then waite for 2 minutes
4) then start the engine like normal and try it out!
Good luck!
UPDATED ON (Aug. 3. 2011): This turned out to be a temporary solution that would last for about a week. A permanent solution is said to be in the latest software by BMW - refer to (SIB 12 09 11)

Not sure what engine(s) this fix is for, but on my 2012 528i F10 N20 (turbo), it did not work--unless I did it wrong. Seems idiot proof though. I did the 1 minute pedal to floor, and wait 2 minutes, but no go. Nor did I hear any clicking while waiting a minute (I did press start button once, as instructed).
