I posted the fact that it started, because some X5 owners have been having major issues with their batteries holding a charge unless A) they use a trickle charger each night or B) they drive many miles each day and never let the car sit idle for several days in a row.

I did expect my X5 to start, but I can appreciate the frustration some are having.

Had my X5 not started, I too would have been very upset.

But, so far so good. Again, I think there can be at least 1-dozen reasons people are having issues with their X5 discharging.

But, I wanted to point out that it's not a unanimous, across-the-board, issue. At least, not thus far.
