Had the battery tested and it was bad...held no charge after several long trickle charges. With new battery the X5 seems like a whole different beast. I just realized there are lights under the outside door mirrors that come on at night...not sure if they did before. Since I have read so many posts that state new batteries running down after replacement due to parasitic draw I have a multimeter that I'm going to use to check the battery for any draw and have the alternator tested. Fingers crossed it was just the battery....
