The Youtube video was just to show that you can operate a car without a battery.
My statement was that the car runs off both the battery and alternator, not just one or the other.
The radio in my X and other cars operates just fine with the engine off and just running on the 12 volts Battery, so does the lights and the windshield wipers if I turn them on.
Are you by any chance related to Trader4. Or are you Trader4 but with a new log in?

Funny how I asked this same question almost two years ago and you ALL were on the other side of the fence!!!! Terminators car stopped running while he was driving. The battery came loose. I told you guys that the car should have stayed running, yet everyone insisted "bmws" won't because there is too much "electrical stuff". I even offered to try this on my own X, but YOU, upallnight, got me so nervous to try it explaining that there are current spikes and what not that alternator can not correct so you would take a chance of damaging components. So which one is it? Will your BMW X5 run without a battery installed?
