Glad you're back safe! It's funny that was one thing that has impressed me about the X5 is how long you can let it sit, and yet it drives totally normal. I just bought a new 2012 Acura TSX, and I left it at work, cabbed it to the airport for a 3 day trip, came back and it was deader than a door nail. It lost 100% of the charge with nothing left on at all and then drove funny for 2 days. I'd left the X5 sit for over a month with no battery tender and it started and drove perfect after. Weird!
