Long cranking
Got a 08 M and this morning it didn't seem like it wanted too start. Super long crank so guess I'd bring it too the dealer Tuesday. Just wondering anyone have a idea why?

Really? I only got 42xxx km on it. Seems like it only happens when parked outside for a period of time. But even then it's not longer then a day.

Had a similar problem with my ’09 – thought it was the battery (wasn’t) and after getting worse over 3-4 weeks finally it wouldn’t start no matter what – even with an attempted jump start.
End result – ignition module stuffed and was replaced under extended warranty – took 2 weeks out of Germany. All good now and battery still going strong. Might be a different problem though |

Happened to me yesterday morning. It was really really cold (45 degrees) and had been raining. Crank took maybe 2.5 seconds before it started. Brand new battery, too. I wouldn't worry too much about it unless it is the original battery on your 08.

Batteries generally last 5-7 years, so if you have an early '08, it could be time for a new one.

Check voltage with a voltmeter. Should be at least 12.2 with everything off.

Good to know, thanks Mike. I don't have a voltmeter, although I can get my friend to bring one to work tomorrow. Would reading the voltage via OBD2 while the car is running help me diagnose anything?
