This might be kind of a stupid question....
But My 535xi battery is dead and my parents are out of town for a week so what do I do?
I have a battery charger but dont know how to use it ;\ and I cant go and get another battery because I have no other car to go on.
Also I need the car to go to school this week.
This sucks got the car just a month ago to!

WOW that is a bummer!! Hey what kind of battery charger do you have? What don't you know about jumping off your e60? (Oh do you have BMW or any kind roadside assistance, i.e. AAA, or a Gold American express Card, etc? Depending on your year model your BMW comes with FREE Roadside assistance that will come jump you off at no charge)

.....Yeah, just borrow the Bentley or Ferrari in the back garage. Your folks won't mind. Also, google works great for learning how to jump a car. It's pretty basic.
