Since having a BMW Advanced car eye fitted in my beloved Waminda all was well until this last month. First problem was a tyre pressure notification after being parked up whilst shopping. On the way home to check the said pressures the seat belt warning sign came on. I stopped undid the belt and then fastened it again but the light remained on with the accompanying annoying bong bong bong noise. Stopped the car switched off and removed the key.........started again and everything ok. During the last month things have steadily declined to the point where its booked in at the stealers tomorrow morning whilst i go shopping at Cheshire oaks. Every time I start it I get "excessive battery drain whilst stationary" notifications which is driving me mad. It shouldn't be the dash cam because it is fitted with a battery drain monitoring system which shuts the camera off in parking mode if it senses the drain is excessive.
The only concern i have given the car is under warranty is that during the discussion with the service muppet about booking my car in he said "the problem with the 35is is that when you are driving most of the power is taken up looking after the double clutch system and when you are under acceleration the alternator provides absolutely no charge to the battery as its all used for the clutch system?????
Totally confused, bewildered, dismayed and baffled all I can do is open a nice bottle of brandy (yes) and cook some comfort food (yes) and then have some more brandy (yes, yes, yes, yes, etc...........yes) Oh and await the deluge of bullshit from the stealers when i get my car back tomorrow night!
Life was a lot simpler when I had my Lotus elan. It just didn't work so I learned not to care?

. I've taken to disconnecting the cam when its left on my drive for any period of time... that seems to work just fine but a little annoying!
