I say IBS because it can send a signal to the DME to trigger a no-start condition. Both the IBS and the BST has been has been ruled out - they swapped out with some they had on hand and no dice.
So more results from yesterday - after the car started from reconnecting the battery, they tried starting a few more times. On the 5th time they encountered the no-start no crank condition again. Seems like the battery also discharged to 12V or under during this time - this is a brand new battery (that the mechanic said he coded and registered).
It also threw a CAS Terminal 50 code. Sounds more and more like a loose connection. They are systematically going through all the cable connections to make sure they are tight.
Certainly welcome any more ideas - will update as things change.
