Left my X5 35d parked for 7-days
To keep the discharging battery debate going, I left my 2010 35d parked for 7-days in 35-degree temperature, at night, rising to 50-degrees during the day.
I started it for the first time today. The vehicle was manufactured in December/09.
There was absolutely no hesitation, or issue in it starting. I've since driven it a few miles here and there, started it 3 or 4 times, throughout the day, and all is working like a charm.
I locked the doors, when it was stored, and the vehicle has 3,000 miles on it.
I'm wondering if the vehicles are not being delivered with a full charge from the factory, or if the batteries are being stored too long before being installed, allowing them to discharge. Anything is possible, of course, but that's the update from this 35d owner.
