Hi Pros,

This morning i started the car , and it starts without any problem.

while driving i decided to check the exact amount of fuel in the tank via ACM , then i notice the voltage is droping .1 volt every 5 mins of driving.

Then after sometimes , idrive started to flash.

i switch off the car , restart and the start was slow , but started.

then after everything is fine and ACM shows the voltage is going up again, anyone experience this?

Do think it is the alternator?

Thanks

Vishwen

my alternator was replaced a few weeks ago. I was driving one night and lost power, all warning lights came on, my i-drive flashed and i-drive screen displayed low battery charge. Before it lost complete power, I noticed the electric windows, wipers and sunroof were slow. After a while it started again but got it towed to bmw anyway.
