BMW by Microsoft?

OK goofy thread title but what the hell... I think my car has some Micro$oft DNA.

I washed the car tonight and left the keys in the car. When I went to move the car into the garage I got two warnings:
  1. Battery discharging while stopped. Electrical devices were temporarily switched off.
  2. Low left beam malfunction

It's good to know BMW disables the driver's side headlight if the battery is drained.

Anyway, after a short drive I let the car sit for ten minutes then started it up again and BMW permitted the driver's side headlight to work again.

There are a few reports of random errors linked to the battery charge being low. I had an error while driving, stop immediately message that was apparently just the charge on the battery. I would ignore it unless the same error comes back without the battery issues

Yep, I agree... I've already forgotten about the error.
