Hello to all BMW owner's, and anyone borrowing one.
This is my first post as I've only been an owner for a few weeks.
My purchase is a beautiful M6 Convertible in Silverstone Blue and a black top.
My first observation was the low battery warning that kept coming up. So I've just take delivery of a CTEK MXS 7.0 charger and put it into action now that the damp weather has started. It has just completed 4.75 hours and is now showing full battery. I'll keep a good eye on that this winter and give it regular attention.
I will post some pictures when I've mastered how to re size them, too large at the moment.

Take care

Thanks BDO just need to sort out how to adjust my resolutions for pictures to upload to forum.
Well I drove to Manchester last night and before setting back the battery symbol showed up again. So on charge again, but is it the battery or something pulling the power out of it. If I buy a new one the same will happen ?..

Looks like it, who knows it could be the original from 2008. Can't see a date on it, but they don't last forever.
