Vehicle has ignition lights, but won't crank, won't jump or bump start, any ideas?

The EWS might need to be realigned, have you been to shop with this yet?

EWS is what BMW calls their drive away protection. It is a key recognition system that immobilizes the car and (hopefully) prevents car theft. If alignment is lost, you get a no crank/ no start condition.
