I wonder if the thermostat has gone bad and the fan is staying on too long once you turn the car off.....

From afar, I'd guess a dead short, probably electronically glitched on
occasion, as opposed to the old fashion "dead short", a result of your post
crash re-do.
A really A-O, careful tech can track it down.

That's what I was thinking. Maybe you should give BMW Roadside Assistance a call (or your dealer SA) & have them flatbed it to the dealer... Shorts can be hard to find but if the tech is good he should be able to take care of it... GL & let us know how you make out...

Certainly could be...

I've never heard the fan in my X running after I shut it off (and I would - the garage is just through the kitchen door...), but I understand it can do this. Is this common or is that just not functioning on my X?

BTW L - Have you been using the aux heat alot (and the aux vent in summer)? I have a feeling that's what killed my battery last year...

I haven't been running the aux air or heat. I have not heard the fan running after I turn her off.

My park distance control and my roof have been acting weird. The PDC immediately goes off when I put her in reverse when there is nothing behind me and doesn't beep when there is something there. This time of the year I keep the roof partially open. Frequently when I try to close it, it goes further back instead of closing. I didn't think they were big issues and was waiting until things calmed down at work to make a service appointment.

The first time this happened was before the accident. The kid who was checking her in walked around the X 4 fookin times with the clipboard in hand. I dared him to find a mark on her. 3 days later......You know the rest

I am undecided as to whether I should try to jump the battery instead of waiting for a flat bed. (I really don't have time for this today) Is that foolish being there's a short? Can she die while I'm driving?

EDIT: Decided to play it safe and call Assist. I'm waiting for the flat bed.

I'm just now thinking maybe it's time to bail and abort the waiting for X6 mission. Get the E70 for 2 years and X6 next time around.

Decisions....decisions What are the chances that whatever this electrical issue is will be resolved first time around?
