It's not the battery. It's something electrical.
These cars are computers on wheels. If one tiny thing goes wrong with the computer, the car is toast.
To say I'm frustrated is the understatement of the year. I'll have to have it towed to the dealer Monday morning. This is my first BMW. How the hell are we supposed to trust these cars?

I had something similar happen, at least it sounds similar (it was a number of months ago), and I bought a battery tender to keep it charged when not driving often. Is it cold where you are??
