BMW have not fixed the problem yet, at least not on 2010 models.
I now make sure I put it on the CTEK charger once every couple of weeks, which is absolutely ridiculous for a vehicle in this price range.
Next time around I think it's going to be a Ford, rather than a BMW.

I can understand your anger....! Ridiculous.... Should not happen with a brand new X5.....
But I think you have a different problem. I guess you have the AGM-02 battery and new software, so it could be your X5 is experiencing leak current. Did your dealer already check the 'known' issues (i.e. blower-motor resistor/satnav/cd changer waking up the (sleeping) X5?)
