Also, if your problem isn't solved by registering and you pull codes, look out for 278D which is an alternator code. That kept popping up for me while I was troubleshooting, so even though my alt kept testing fine, it was hard to rule it out because of that code I kept getting. But, I was told by a friend who works for BMW Manufacturing (who has access to the database of all fault codes from when they were created internally) that 278D could also be triggered by a faulty connection somewhere along the charging system (which makes sense). In my case, it simply was telling me the alt was the issue, it was just hard to understand when it tested 100% fine, repeatedly, for weeks.
Fingers crossed registering the battery does the trick though |
Thanks
Still waiting on the cable
every day I come home hoping the post/mail man has delivered it.
