This is weird
I have driven my car 500-600 miles no problems at all. Brand new battery and I never had an issue starting. The lights didnt dim when the music was up louad or anything to suggest low power.
I did however notice my battery light was on very dim. I didnt even know until I drove it at night because it was so dim. I figured it was a short in the cluster or it didnt like something, but I didnt really worry about it because I didnt have any problems with my battery or starting.
Well tonight with my first trip out of town in the m3. I pull into a gas station, fill up, and it decides it wont start. The starter would just click once then give up. All the lights were on and bright, and the music was up and nothing seemed like a battery issue. Lucky I was able to pop start it on the first try to drive it home. I decided when I got home there was a hill that goes down to my house. So I stop at the top and turn the car off, I try to start it and I can hear it click once then the car slid forward a bit and it started right up. I shut it off again and it started just fine again.
Any one know whats going on?
EDIT:
Also, on the trip back. I was watching the battery light closely, every now and again I could see it get brighter then dimmer, but for the most part its hardly even on.
