JAndersonX5, I've had the same problem recently and I just replaced my battery and final stage resistor today but I don't think I fixed the problem. Is your orange shift indicator light still lit after 15 minutes? Something is draining the battery and the shift indicator still lit after 15 minutes is part of the problem. I have two other bimmers, and they go to "sleep" lights out after 15 minutes. My X5, stays "awake" (shifter light lit) all night long - that's the problem. I haven't found a resolution and I'm sure my new battery will be dead within a month! If you find a solution, please let me know. My car is garaged parked in Connecticut at a constant 55 degrees, so cold is not a factor!
