Shit-Hydrolock?

[TheGodfather]

For anyone who was interested:

I dodged the CCV bullet for now. A friend helped me jump start, it took a while because the battery was completely drained. Key is now dead. Friend probably had a good laugh regarding the German engineering that is BMW, while he sat in his Dodge.

I had to jump start directly from the battery in the back because I was boxed in a parking space. I attempted the manual tailgate opening procedure. It did not work. I had to remove the tire, cover, etc from inside with the seats folded. What a bloody horrible design, thanks BMW.

I drove for a good hour after jump starting to hopefully fully recharge the battery and burn off some moisture.

Temp gauge still out of whack.
