Replaced Battery Cable 61-12-9-215-954
Replaced Battery Cable 61-12-9-217-004
Replaced IBS and BST (no part nrs, one is Intelligent Battery System, no idea what the other is).

Negative battery terminal cracked causing corrosion on IBS.

No idea how the battery cracked. It's held down tight and to be honest, I've been remiss and have never even looked at it since it's out of sight. Hopefully this will be the fix. I'll post if the warning returns.

LOL, had mine in for the exact same thing. Dealer replaced my battery, which did not fix the issue. Took it back again and BMW just released a service advisory sw update that resolved the issue. I guess the car was waking up more then it should, thus the high battery drain.
