I think I'm gonna change my battery this week and see if it makes a difference. Its been 3 years already and I think batteries are only good for that time right?

Instead, Buy a quality smart battery charger that will recognize an AGM-VRLA battery. You will need one to maintain your next BMW battery.
DO NOT remove the battery. Using the access points under the hood fully charge the battery. The hours on bulk and absorption charge rate times the average charge current should be roughly the capacity of your battery, abut 90 AH - Ampere Hours.
A well maintained AGM battery should last more than three years - that's one of its advantages. BMW's are hard on batteries.

I am a new BMW owner, but a submarine trained battery charger/maintainer. I am fully recharging my BMW's battery weekly with the best charger that I have.
