When I first got my G37 I always pressed the button once for ON, then a second time for ACC, then I would press it a third time while my foot was on the brake to start the actual engine. The other day I was thinking about this method, and I realized it's going to exponentially increase the times I press the start button. So, as of late, I have been placing my foot on the brake and holding the button just once to go directly from ON->ACC->Start Engine without any pauses.
The reason I bring this up is because I have heard in the past that going immediately from ON->ACC->Starting engine without any pause is harmful for the car/engine. I don't know how or why, but just something I've been told in the past. Maybe someone else has also heard of this phenomenon?
Press brake and press start button as long as is necessary to engage the starter. Your information source is wrong in regards to the G. Maybe a crappy BMW thing?

Anyways, how does everyone else start their car?
Who told you?
"I have heard", "someone told me that", "others have said"
You sound like our a$$hole president.
Read your owners manual
A quick google search brings up multiple results with people talking about this in various car makers. Yes, I know it doesn't include the G37, but since it was such a common question I wanted to pose it amongst g owners to generate some discussion.
Why the hostility though? I thought forums were a place for discussion. This is the newbie corner no?

why you ask? well for starters many here have already stated read you owners manual. second is "KISS" it, as in "Keep It Simple Stupid". btw please don't read this as hostility from me or others here but god damn you are a little slow.
hey you wanna know how i start my car. i run around the car 10 times counter clockwise. then i jump up and down 3 times. i then touch my nose with my left pinky finger. next i grab my crotch and scratch my ***** with my right hand and wait for my ball sack to drop. last i need to blow a fart then i can proceed to press the "start" button as the technique i referenced above will provide optimal fuel injector timing and prevent backfires.
