But you will spend $140 to $420 for this to be checked out, since you are not a DIYer, right?

And you have a 2007 with a battery that is probably at least 4 years old...how long do YOU think that battery will last? 5 years? It WILL need to be replaced soon, so by dropping a new battery in you eliminate one POTENTIAL issue, and won't spend an extra hour for the dealer to tell you "your battery was also failing as well as a short, and we spent an hour diagnosing the battery and another hour to replace it, so $600 for a new BMW battery".

Knock yourself out-

I am not going to take this car to a BMW dealer... They are way to expensive! I made an appointment at a local Diagnostic Center that specializes in Beemers... I will also show them the SIB that Penguin posted....

But I am also going to see if the batter is old and definitely change it first thing...
