I have a 2005 X5 4.4i, I started getting a bad smell like rotten eggs, than every couple days it would loose its charge. I have a personal mechanic who can get bimmer parts pretty quick within a couple of days. There was smoke coming from the battery, and the smell was unbearable. Turns out the battery was cooked and it was the original. The new battery is in all is great, but let me tell you these cars act really weird when there are battery issues. My mechanic is not a bmw specialist was a GM mechanic for over 20 years and can work on anything, JUst graeful and wouldn't have bought the car without him.
