My buddy's 328 coupe does not start intermittently

OK, very intermittently my buddy's 328 coupe ('08), when driving for a while, and then stopping to get gas (or some other reason) will not start up. Aka, the car is already warmed up when trying to restart it. If he lets the car rest for 20 minutes, it will start up again. This only happens maybe once a month it seems. Has anyone had this issue as well?

Sounds like the battery is to low to start it

How old is the battery?

This might be an indication of an impending starter failure.
