Only thing I could find in the Owner's Manual for my 2002 is the following (on page 18):
Quote:
Red: Stop Immediately
Battery charge current
The battery is no longer being charged. There is a malfunction of the alternator drive belt or in the charging circuit of the alternator. Please contact the nearest BMW Sports Activity Vehicle center.
If the drive belt is defective, do not continue driving. The engine could be damaged due to overheating. If the drive belt is defective, increased steering effort is also required.

I'd think you'd notice if the drive belt was defective. Without the charge circuit working, I'd think you're battery would have died by now. Odd.
