  1. F10 / F11 (2011 - 2016)
    I am trying to charge the battery with the connectors under the hood for jump starting the car. The issue is the circuit breakers in the battery chargers keep tripping. This happens on both my chargers. I also can't seem to get the voltage much above 12 volts either. I usually like to charge...

    Hi, and thanks for reading this and offering your insights. Issue began when my 2012 F10 transmission would go into gear, but return to park. Then a ‘transmission fault’ error was displayed. My Foxwell 510 elite did clear the codes 420401, 420451 and 420641. After restart, the car goes into...

    Hello, I woke up late last week to my car not starting at all, no power whatsoever. In the past when I had the battery start to go out on me I had lots of time and many "battery discharge" promts before it actually died completely. I figured maybe it was finally time so yesterday i went and...

    Hey everyone, kept getting the battery discharge message when shutting off car. Checked the battery with a tester and it was toast. Replaced it yesterday with a new one from BMW. Haven’t had a chance to get it reprogrammed yet, going to be doing that tomorrow evening. When going to start the car...

    I needed a new battery and meineke said they can do it. Took it to the shop, got the battery replaced and left. Everything seems fine and I am assuming it was coded and registered like it should be. But I went to unhook the battery to replace my camshaft sensors and solenoid actuators, and I...

  8. 7 Series - F01 / F02 / F03 / F04 (2008 - 2015)
    I was getting a "charge battery message" recently, but had used a battery tender so I thought I was OK. After driving about 100 miles earlier this week, I parked the car and came back a couple of days later to a completely dead battery. I then replaced the battery with a new one from Advanced...

    Hi guys, long story short my battery died and we tried to jumpstart it. My hood cylinders are done so the hood slammed on the cables, shorted them and they caught on fire. We took everything off and only plastics are esthetically melted a little nothing major but it shorted while hooked to the...

    Hi all, A few weeks ago I had my first encounter with this issue wherein after a 5 hour trip and then re-starting the vehicle, the control display screen did not wake up: no radio, no backup camera, no aux, nor did I even get any chimes for seatbelts etc. At first it only took a few minutes of...

    When driving as I was coming to a stop I got a transmission in park error and then the car shut off. Upon trying to restart the car it acted as if the battery was dead and would hardly turn over. The battery is fully charged and brand new. The car would barely start after connecting a jump pack...

    My 2005 325ci convertible has a brand new battery and it was running fine for a few weeks. Now suddenly it drains after a few hours. Alternator seems to be OK.

    This is a copy paste as I made a new account, additionally I added more information and researched aggressively. I'm looking at purchasing this vehicle with ~118k miles and hoping you can help me decipher some codes pulled from my recent test drive. I'm a DIYer who has never owned a BMW but am...

    2 weeks ago I went away for 5 days leaving my 2017 1 series on the driveway. When I returned, the car was in full working order except for the iDrive screen which had gone completely black. I tried the reset but nothing came of it. The next day I get in my car and the screen now flashes the "No...

    Hi Everyone. What solutions have people managed to find for the EOS test when carrying out repairs. The tool isn’t available to purchase currently and the dealerships are being told they can’t do the test if they haven’t carried out the repairs in house. Very interested to see what others have...
