Hello, I am new Bimmer owner and to website forum. I have a “Battery charge very low” warning alert one minute after having stopped engine but did not eject the FOB key. (ie waiting for someone; with radio on). Also noted that clock, date, odometer reading is reset. Battery replaced by BMW official dealer with higher capacity from 80AH 640A to a Fiamm Titanium L5100+ 100Ah 870A in Nov 2011. Battery registration also made by dealer.

2006 e60 have 111,000 Km on clock. Every day I drive the vehicle with any problem. Starting the engine on first push, with no “fading” start sound / feeling.

I have read several possible faults from alternator, alternator voltage regulator, Intelligent battery sensor (IBS).

Thanks to advise any hint what can be causing this problem and how to sort it out.

Best regards

Yannick

      Bmw x1 2012 won't start

      Morning Marvin You need a Diagnostic Scan with a BMW capable system , I assume that when the Footwell control module and and Battery were replaced they were correctly registered to your chassis ? Has your Mechanic checked the starter solenoid ? much cheaper than a starter Hope this helps Dave

      BMW 318i boot locked can’t get into

      As an "Old Bloke" (big 80 has been and gone) I just dont see cutting corners as saving money ?? over a very long driving life I have owned many many cars I have always maintained my own cars (mix of maintaining Dealer Warranty and self). At one point when in business my cars were changed on a mileage basis but after retirement did I want to spend £50k+ on a new car, NO! so My BMW X5 4.6is and may wifes Subaru Outback 3.0 (2003 and 2004) were the last. The X5 and the Subaru are still going strong both around 160k and maintained by me in my Home Garage everything on both cars works as it should (as an aside both cars have had engine upgrades and give 400+whp) both cars are and have been 100% reliable. As the 4.6is is quite rare in the UK 3 years ago I brought a cheap 3.0d X5 and after fixing the bodges I have a reliable and economical X5 to tow with and stop the mileage building on the 4.6 Wrong coolant can do as much damage as no coolant as can a stuck or no thermostat (longer warm up times using more fuel) I agree with using recycled parts to save money just never Tyres Brakes or Suspension parts they are all that is between you and a ditch Dave
