Clockwork,
Yep, that poor old battery heard your sorry ass dissing it, turned up it's nose, puked some electrolytes and sent it self to the graveyard in the big battery yard. Or was it purely a random cold Winter's death? All will be reviled at the end of our own lives.
In the meantime, time to buy a replacement and say good buy to its good for nothing but scrap ass.
Buy the biggest one you can find with the largest CCA (rated at zero degrees), reserve amps, fits our big SAVs, that has a good review and you can find it up north. Or just come to the USA for a "visit"and just happen to need a battery on the trip. Save yourself a few dollars in the process.
Come down to Wash DC to see the sights, and I will assist. Plus I will help you wash and wax her in my heated garage. A X5 family member in need is a buddy!
