Having two didn't reduce the amount of time spent here that is for sure but the forum makes it possible for us to own these cars because without DIY fixing we couldn't.

This is true
And for some of us, we are used more simple vehicles with mechanical switches where fault finding is a lot more straight forward.
Even though the X5 is full of computers and dashboard warnings and huge fault log files.... It is generally a simple component failure.
Yet throws you so many different alarms you don't know where to look!
Great to have a place like this as a sounding board for your findings
Sure narrows it down
After all of this, i am still interested see how the Battery Life holds up.
If the parasitic drain has improved or not.
I will post the results.
