Low battery light

[dave_alp]

Hi guys

Low battery light came on today while parking - only lights up when dry steering lock to lock. Been on a hoon today so battery should be charged? Turned headlights and bum warmers off and it still did it, but dry steering with about 2500rpm dialled in it didn't. Alternator?

Would welcome any views!

Tia.

#69 is doing that too. Also taking a few more turns to start up in the morning. Time for a new battery methinks. It's 8 years old so not an issue

So long as its not the alternator which I think is an alpina part £££

Thanks stu.

Under warranty anyway, for now

Likewise, will get the battery in before the warranty expires in case the alternator is jaffed

Sounds like a plan stan.

Ecp battery or from BMW?

ECP I think. Will seek advise from the Register gurus on which is best
