I had another brand of car that manifested similar behavior. Car electronics appeared to come alive but no starter activity.
Long story short turned out to be a bad clutch safety interlock switch.
With an automatic transmission a bad shifter position switch could be the problem.
Another time with a similar no start problem the cause was due to a worn out ignition switch module. A wiggling of the key while turning the key would have the engine starting.
One more: With an approx. one year old MINI a no crank turned out to be a weak/bad battery in the key fob.

Thanks RockCrusher for the info.
So when I press the start button I hear a click in the front of the car but
thats about it. Also the whirl in the back under the seats.
The auto shifter is in park.
The key fob low battery light did come on so I replaced it but nothing unfortunately.
next Ill look into the clutch safety interlock switch.
