Car having weird issues on startup

So yesterday, when I was trying to start my car after 40 minutes of parking it on the side side next to the park, it would not start. The car would attempt to crank and then shut back down. After 3 attempts I left the car alone and came back after 5 minutes in hopes it would start, and it thankfully did. I took it to get the battery, alternator, pcv test, and starter inspected by a local mechanic today and they said everything was fine.
I’m starting to think this could be a coil pack issue, injector / fuel issue (we get horrible 91 in California and I think we just started the summer fuel too which is even worst quality)
Has anyone had this issue?
My car is a 2020 with 36k miles, keep up with the maintenance and everything.

I have a 2020 M340iX and my car wouldn't start. Just cranked but no start. Checked DTC codes - it said a fuel pump issue. Used BMW roadside assist to get the car to the dealer, they replaced the fuel pump and control unit under warranty.

I checked the DTC codes and nothing other than my air flaps malfunctioning, which doesn’t affect the start up. I’ll keep an eye out for it though thank you.
