2008 535i Earlier this week, my car started to prompt me to set Date and Time whenever I would start it. That is usually a tell tale sign that the car battery needs to be replaced. It did that the three or four times I started it that day. Then the next day I couldn't even unlock the car. I...

Hello Gang. I need little help. 2007 Z4 3.0si Coupe, 100K miles. My wife started noticing the car sounded like it was struggling to turn over as if the battery was dying. Once running, no issues. So, I replaced the battery last week with another AGM battery, same as my last replacement 4-5...

I'm brand new so forgive me if this is a stupid question. Just bought an old BMW second hand (325i 2003). I drove it home yesterday and it was fine. The stereo and power locks wouldn't work so I replaced the fuses. Success both worked, but after getting out of the car with doors locked, the key...
