Electrical glitches

Post by annabee » Sun Nov 25, 2018 6:02 pm

Hi, I have a 53 plate Z4 which is starting to get a few electrical glitches. Is this a common thing? Central locking plays up, run flat warning seems overly sensitive....
Thanks for your time.

Time for a new battery most likely.. these cars are very sensitive to tired batteries and manifest as various electrical gremlins

BTW welcome to the forum OP!

I also had random warning lights when my battery was dying.
