Trouble down the road?

Ok, just had a scare. I have a 99 528 bmw (136k miles). I tried to start it this afternoon and it turned and turned but would not start. Normally I do not press the gas to start this up.

Then, after tearing some hair out ans swearing, I pumped the gas when starting up and on the 8th or so pump, it started up. It seems to be fine (but that was 2 hours ago)

The check engine light is not on. This car is a workhorse, I put tons of miles on it. The last time I had trouble starting it, I had to replace a part of the brain (can’t remember which lobe, I think it was the expensive one), that was 2 years ago.

The only hint/or obfuscation I have is that on Saturday afternoon, I moved the car about 15 feet, to put it in a different part of the garage, and then I did not use it for 48 hours, which was the 1st 48 hours in a long time it was not moving in a long time.

So is this a one time item, or is this cause for concern?

Thanks,

N2L
