I don't think the "battery discharged" message is related to our driving pattern. We both use the shifters to gear down. Too coincidental that this message began the same week that our sound system stopped working. Maybe a bad amplifier is draining battery power?

On a side note, we are getting tired of bringing our X3 into the dealership. It is out first new vehicle, our first BMW, and this being our 5th trip to the dealership before our first year of ownership is frustrating!
