Alarm messages

My two month old X3 2.0dSE Auto has been showing an array of alarm messages intermittently on the dash display, indicating that a) the Tyre Pressure Warning System is not working, b) the ABS is not working and c) the handbrake is not working - take to service immediately. After 2 visits to my main dealer he advises that I have been doing a lot of short journeys and the stop-start may have drained the battery to such an extent that the car's systems start to shut down. I find this explanation astounding as a) the stop-start should take note of battery condition anyway and b) this is tantamount to BMW telling me how to use the car. Anybody had this? Any other ideas?
