I think half of the problem on the E70 battery issues is caused by the efficient dynamics charging profile. I think the engineers may have gone overboard with the cutting back of the alternator load in favor of a MPG or two... which is why they have much less problems after programming. Although there is no official charging system update programming I do believe the charging system was made a bit more robust with the newer software.
