Ok battery fully charged & tested & the same result, have changed the battery for a Bosch AGM 95ah that was fully charged before fitting & still the same, any ideas anyone please

Could it be your IDrive settings? Just a thought.

100% not idrive

Just recently had this repaired under warranty. Will look for my repair order to see exactly what they did.

Thank you very much

Sorry any luck

I'm sorry, I have not yet found that particular repair order. They attempted to repair it previously by replacing the AC control unit, but that wasn't the problem. Hopefully I'll come across it this weekend.

Any luck, sorry to ask again

The E70 and likely other similar platforms suck and letting the driver know there is a charging problem. I am convinced the E70 cannot notify the driver or a charging problem, I have seen this first hand on my vehicle.

Suggest you actually use the Hidden OBC Menu to monitor the charging Voltage. Should be in the range of 13.5.-14.5 Volts. My E70 runs right around 14.0 Volts most of the time.

Or buy an UltraGauge - UltraGauge OBDII Scan tool & Information Center

I run one of these on my E70 and have threshold alarms set to monitor Temperature and Voltage.

No. I am sorry as I'm am usually very god at maintaining all maintenance records of my vehicles. This one just seems to have slipped away from me. If I come across it I'll certainly post. Again I apologize.
