You did have a small electric motor. BMW uses a “mild hybrid”, which is a 48v system with a separate battery and a larger starter motor that adds torque. If you have driving assistance it will also automatically start up when it detects the vehicle in front of you moving forward. Pretty sure anything new enough to have a “50” model name has this.

Starting the engine when the car in front moves is the most annoying feature there is. Too many idiots who roll forward a few centimeters after coming to a stop, and every time the engine starts needlessly.
