The Z4 has an interlock where if you don't have the seatbelt connected, and the door is slightly ajar (i didn't realize the door was not fully closed), the car will let you put it into gear but then will go back to park when you depress the accelerator.
It wasn't obvious to me that the door was ajar as I thought I had closed it - I was expecting a big icon on the dash or something, but I think instead there was some small text at the bottom of the dash saying the door was open and I just didn't see it initially.

Interesting, the door to my knowledge was closed but there is always that possibility it was slightly ajar.
