I know we through two words out..."code" and "register"...in regards to replacing the car's battery...and we (the BMW community as a whole) tend to not whole-heartedly distinguish between the two.
Anytime you replace your old battery with a new battery...it needs to be "registered".
You didn't mention in your post if this was done. Plugging in a "memory saver" is not the same thing as registering the battery.
If the specs of your new battery is different than your old battery...then not only will you need to "register" the new replacement...you will also need to recode the information to update it to the specs that are different than the old battery.
