I was under the impression that the battery was overcharged and this is what was happening in order to maintain a set voltage level in an effort to extend the batteries life.

I am going to call the service department tomorrow to check on this. I'll post a response tomorrow based upon what I find out.
Just spoke to a service rep at BMW and explained the error message in question. He said it is most likely a battery problem. However, he said I need to bring my car in so that they can run a diagnostic test on it to specifically identify the problem.
