“Push to start” won’t start car unless key fob is inserted also. How can I start without key fob inserted? ---

Did it ever do that ? If so then you need to see a BMW dealer because the electronics on this thing are complicated. ---

Replace the battery in your remote, if it is weak it can’t transmit the security signal to the receiver. ---

Have you checked the fob battery lately? I had the same problem until it was quickly and inexpensively fixed.
