Car wouldn't start... any ideas?

Got in my car, turned the key to start it, all the lights come on but the engine doesn't turn over. I think I turned the key counter clockwise and then clockwise to try and start it again and I lost all power. I may have lost all power right after attempting to start it the first time. I really can't remember. So I'm sitting in my car and it's completely dead... absolutely nothing works, i.e., door locks, dash lights, etc.. So I sat there for two or three minutes thinking oh shit. I then here something click. I think it came from the dash area. So I put the key back in the ignition, turn it to the first position and all the lights come on but my trip odometer is reset to zero and my clocks are both showing --:--. I turn the key and it starts right up. No error codes or anything. Does anyone know what happened? The only other time I was left dead in the water was while I was driving my old 07 328i (fuel pump issue) and it's not a pleasant feeling.
