Definately a sign of a weak battery. It needs to be replaced.

Yeah... It was the batt. It was completely dead. I revived it though by shocking it with a 10 amp charge for about four hours, and then a slow trickle charge 2amp over night. I got some education on batteries on the interstate.com web site. Go here to learn the proper way of charging a battery. My x5 has one of these batteries in it. It has been working fine for about four months now.

Well, wouldn't you know it?
Just got a call from my wife at home. X5 won't start, she describes the symptoms, and I think to myself 'hmm, I just read a thread where somebody had the EXACT same problem.'

Anyways, thanks to X5world, I knew exactly what the problem was, didn't have to , just told her to hook up the battery charger for a bit. X5 starts right up. Problem solved, and I'm buying a new battery on my way home this afternoon.
The battery on my '01 is original, and was on my list to replace soon. Just haven't gotten around to it.

Chalk up another happy ending to X5world!!!

My x sat in the garage for three weeks and was dead when I went to start it. Hooked it up to my wifes X3 for a jump it fired right up. Talk to my service guy and he said if you don't drive it for 3 or 4 weeks it will drain the battery. He said hook it to a slow or trickle charger. To much trouble I just start it up once a week and let it run for 5 or so minutes no more problems.
