Be aware that BMW is playing games on their battery issues. Lawsuits are starting to fly on this issue. The BMW dealer will download your past driving information and decide if you have had too many "short" trips that will decrease the battery life. If they decide your driving record is detrimental to the battery, the dealer will decide if the battery will be covered under warranty. From internet information there does not seem to be a clear parameter to base this decision and it is not clearly stated in the manual. Owners feel that the dealers are using this to make a quick buck on what then becomes a non warranty item.
