Battery Care
If your car is driven only for short distances of
less than 10 miles over a prolonged period of
time, without an occasional drive at highway
speeds, the engine’s charging system will
not maintain the battery. Insufficient use of
the vehicle could result in short term starting
problems and in the long term could damage
the battery.
In case the car is not operated for several
weeks it is advisable to:
a) consider using a proper trickle charger, following the charger manufacturer’s
instructions, to maintain the battery’s
state of charge; or
b) consult your BMW center regarding battery removal. Once removed, the
battery must be charged and stored in a
cool, dry place where it can be protected
from freezing. If the battery will be stored
for over 3 months, it must be recharged
every 3 months, or else it will become
damaged and useless.
Please consult with your BMW center for
further guidance and information.
