Battery recharge
Hello, i have 535i f10 and 2 months ago i accidentaly left parking lights on for a night. Next morning i got a message from i drive saying "battery discharging while stopped". I drove it for couple minutes and the message went away. Since then battery was working properly, but now it started showing problems when I try to start the car, its struggling realy bad. I think it needs recharge and i am curious If i take out the battery and leave the car without power supply will it damage anything or cause any issues?

If you do remove the battery, be aware that you cannot release the trunk without power. There is no longer a key override in the F10. You'll have to leave the rear seats ajar, unlock the driver's door with the mechanical key and be prepared to make your way through the rear seat trunk access to release the trunk lid from the inside. (or, release the hood and hook another power supply up under the hood long enough to release the trunk electrically) |

Also, disconnecting the battery doesn't damage the vehicle or control modules (as long as you don't short the battery cables once removed from the battery's terminals. But you may have to reset some things like personal profiles and the sunroof and perhaps the window (one-touch up/down). See info below...and make sure you use the DEDICATED negative and positive jump start terminals in the engine bay. Don't use something you "think" is the negative jump terminal...because if it's not really grounded...your battery will NOT get recharged. If you don't know where the jump start terminals are...there should be an illustration in the owners manual that shows where they can be found.
