after leaving car for one day it had a flat battery,mini assist jump started it and advised to run for about 10 miles but book it in for check up.car ran fine for 4 days using it every day,however when i went to start it to go to dealership after not starting it for a day it was flat again, assist again came out but wouldnt take it away and give me a courtesy car, stating they have a time limit to get vehicle going and if they manage that there obligation to supply car stops and passes onto dealership.i took it to dealers who stated they couldnt find anything wrong, they then suggested that it might be due to not having many miles on clock(1335) and the fact i only did short runs.this was quickly retracted when i asked infront of other bmw customers if that meant a bmw was only good for persons driving long distances. they then thought that the battery although reading proper volts did not have the amperage so they give it aboost. i was given the car back but didnt have to use it again for 3 days..surprise surprise battery flat.by passed assist, dealership came to place of work and took car away replacing battery.my idea of checking out this website was met with a grunt! up to now (a week later no probs) |
