Electrical Issues?
Recently I have had a couple issues crop up on my 08 M3.
The clock started losing about a minute every 2 days and the information screen between the speedo and tach resets itself to not displaying anything after the ignition is turned off. Could this be caused by a weak battery? There is no other indication the battery is weak (starts right up). Has anyone else experienced this problem and know the fix? Stan |

This is almost definitely a weak battery. 08 batteries are starting to fail about now....

Thanks.
A new battery has to be cheaper than a trip to the dealership to diagnose the problem. Any suggestions on where to get the best price on a new battery? Phil, See you at Coffee & Cars on Saturday? Stan |
