Hi,
After thinking through this we believe it is the Alternator going bad. The battery is only a year old and tests perfect. When a charger is left on it overnight everything is fine. When the car is started and run several times over the course of the day, the weirdness happens.
In addition, there is an oil leak from the valve cover and the oil is running down onto and into the alternator. So added reason to believe this is the problem spot... Gonna be some serious $$s.
The X5 has 80000 miles on it, FYI
John
