I seem to be getting a lot of faults/warnings lately: SRS failure, Window Anti-trap failure, etc. that go away the next time I start the car. I'm wondering if this is not a symptom of a battery on its last legs--the battery is the factory original, just short of 4 years old ('05 545).
Anyone else have this happen?

My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny.
2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter.
Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.

BMW replaced my positive battery cable (battery to the front) under warranty.
They claim there's a error in design that it triggers many codes. My airbag and AS code were triggered.
If you are still under warranty, take it in if not then you might want to always battery tender your battery if you park extended time.
