Is there any sign of a SIB for Excessive Battery Discharge?
 

There have been a few previous thread's where members reported excessive battery drain messages where they had to reset date/time etc.

Does anyone know of a SIB being issued for this yet?

Good question. I would like to know also. I have seen this excessive battery discharge message 3 times too many.

I've had this already but it was to do with my Trackstar 5

They put a new unit and no messages since

ive only had mine since last saturday but had the messgae " high rate of battery dischage" at least once every day .. im assuming its my tracker too as its a gps 24 hour one...

I don't have Tracker, so there must be another source for mine.

I'd get that checked though - mine was a faulty unit which they have now changed

It wasn't however draining the battery it was just setting the light off !

They were having the same problem here in NA. The Boomerang system was draining the battery and causing havoc with the electronics, alarm. Now the only one they recommend is the Boomerang 2.

SIB for battery discharge problem
 

Yeah, there is a service bulletin. I kept getting the "Excessive battery drain" warning on my i-Drive screen on my 08' 4.8i.

The BMW SIB is 61 02 07

I had this done in early Feb. 2008.

Hope this helps guys! :thumbup:

do you have a copy of the bulletin?

All I have is my Service Invoice, when I picked my vehicle up. It does not state what they did in great detail, but it does list the SIB number that I provided in my last post.

With all the Bimmers I've had over the years, not once was I ever given a copy of the actual Service Bulletin...just the SIB# on the invoice.

Sorry!
