I'll be taking my 330i Delivered July 1 back to the dealer so he can check this out later this week, but was wondering if anyone else on the board has heard any particular things to look out for that would kill the battery in a new car. Was parked for 6 days in an airport parking lot. There wasn't enough juice to even unlock the doors with the remote, or illuminate the interior lights when I opened the door with the key.

After the jumpstart, I couldn't find anything that might have been left on and drained the battery. I'm guessing the dealer won't find anything either...but I sure would like to know what happened!!

Anyone have an idea what happened?
