update. just got called by the service center. They are not replacing my battery. Their diagnosis indicated that I had left the park lights on for 8 hours which is somehow related to the clock ???? Is this a load of you know what ???? They told me this is not a warranty issue at all and I will need to monitor the charge of the battery.

The dealer contacted BMW Australia and they authorised it... My Invoice states Includes FRU Codes 6100811, 6100991 & 6131996.. not sure if one of those relates to the battery....?

all fixed now. battery and software updated. looks like the first time the dealer sees the issue they want to rule out neglect before acknowledging the fault. When it occured the second time, they had it repaired aver 2 days.

I went for a long drive down south coast.. on the way back I had 3 clock resets... the drive was 2.5 hours highway... this is with the new battery.. it definitely is the alternator... as others have said.. there is no possible way for BMW to explain how a battery gets discharged when I stop for a piss....
