Spent several hours cleaning the car for the Midlands breakfast club (thoguht i better make an effort), had the radio on, roof down, moved seats back and forward and guess what a flat battery. Yes i left the key in the igniton turned on, cannot believe how quick the battery drained. :oops: Is this just an M thing, as never had it happen with any other cars, is the battery capacity smaller?

Anyway learnt my lesson, did panic i had killed the car though.

The guy from BMW was very prompt and professional and completely understanding. Didnt get daft women driver off him, unlike my other half!

:thumbsup: to BMW breakdown service.
 
It's not just a women thing, I drained mine and had to be jump started on the ferry. Your right it does drain very quick

Yep, me too. :oops: One meet i was getting my previous Zed prepared for i was in my garage the night before cleaning the engine bay, put the headlights on to see what i was doing. Didnt have them on for long, but they sure did drain the battery. Luckily had a set of jump leads handy, along with my dad in his car :)
 
Exact same happened to me on my old M3 once. Apparently it's the Nav screen / GPS that saps the power?...as you say, I found them prompt, efficient and understanding! Sounds like they get called all the time for it LOL.
