Would-be carjacker fires gun at man ... but can’t start BMW

Here's to DCT or possibly manual transmission saving the day. My guess is the car had a DCT which confused the robbers.

When the attacker demanded the car owner’s keys and the car owner refused, the man shot once in the air and the man gave up his keys.

The attacker got into the BMW and the owner, who’s from the southwest suburbs, ran off, but the attacker wasn’t able to start it, so he took off in the Challenger, possibly driven by a second person. The BMW M5 can be a manual transmission car.
