crap ! bummer battery dead in my 325es

Well was going to take my garage queen for spin.
Welcome to a dead battery in the car. Didn't have any
symptoms. So had to have left a interior light or parking lights.
Hopefully can charged and be good to go. If not new battery.

Last time for me it was my interior lights. The two in the back for passengers were on cause someone had bumped or messed with the switched. Came out to a dead battery

Should have paid attention to what switch I may have left on.
Hmm

A battery will go dead just sitting if left for long enough, even without any kind of drain on it. Only takes a few months and it will be dead.

It's always a good idea to unhook the battery if you plan on storing the car for long periods of time. A trickle charger or maintainer is a good idea as well.

I had the same thing happen, found some hidden aftermarket stuff I removed. I also found that I was only charging at 11v due to bad cabling in the engine bay.

The records I received for my ES are really great (BMW dealer tech owned)
The battery was an Interstate MTP-91vented style.
Replacement date was 2002. I guess we got our moneys worth on it.
Looks like the old battery just may take a charge. Lol

If the battery is 11 years old just replace it
