    Exclamation NE1 else having charging issues?

    Apparently, with my build spec and settings, if I don't drive the car for three days or more, all the systems will warn of low charge state and throw codes and warning messages out. You know like, STOP IMMEDIATELY, and that brakes and steering won't work right on a low charge and call the stealer immediately and pull over and call a tow truck. I have driven very carefully with all these master caution and warning alarms going off and nothing seemed compromised and in less than 5 miles the charge was sufficient to eliminate the issue. The stealer cannot seem to tell me what to do with settings or recommend fix. I really didn't think a trickle charger [4 amp BMW AGM/Li]was necessary. In doing, research I noticed that there are 3 choices of battery and I'm wondering what they are installing in Spartanburg these days; 60Ah, 90Ah and 105Ah. I wonder if I replaced both batts with 105Ah it would solve the problem,.... not if they're already 90Ah's. So for now, until the dealer is done ignoring the issue, it's trickle charger for us. I am just surprised that BMW would assume such a large SUV is a daily driver. There has to be people going on trips and finding their cars in airport parking lots in a state of discharge all the time.... no?

    NE1?

    I experienced something similar with my 740; even after buying an OEM battery at the dealer and have it coded in.

    Still haven't resolved it but I recently found, through research, it could be linked to the soft close function of a door handle drawing current even after closed fully.

    A recent scan gave a zone error to a handle that is malfunctioning.
