Z4 2.0i was off road for 2 years. Battery died, was recently re-charged and engine started straight-a-way. Car was driven a little. Roof off and on, all very good .... for about 10 mins. Now engine starts and really wants to kick off but just doesnt make it. Help!
All Service/pressure/engine lights glowing up the dash... fuel very low!

For sure. If the battery has been left flat for even a few weeks the plates will be sulphated. Time for a new battery before you do anything else.
