We have it parked. The wife stays at home so it won't be driving anywhere.

Could you please you elaborate more on why the pressure is building and where it's being vented to?

i'm going to check fuse #15 tonight with a voltmeter if I get a chance. It might be wise to just put a new Alternator in. The Alternator/Battery on BMWs generate so flippin many gremlins.
