Never ever jump start a bmw. With so many electrical systems including a battery management system jump starting is a recipe for disaster. Sorry to hear what happened.

Garbage. There’s a jump start procedure in the manual. Perfectly safe if followed correctly.

Lmaoooooooooo, The Manufacturer describes a procedure in Your Official Owners manual for your vehicle, that many people have performed with no issues, but you would rather believe an old wives tale instead of BMW who actually MADE the car.
