Recently purchased an E60 530d M Sport "56" with 62k. Love the car and everything about it up until yesterday when my missus went to start it with the push button and nothing happened apart from every light on the dash flashing on and off as though the car was possessed. Wipers even came on at one point!
Luckily it's under a full mechanical and electrical RAC warranty but I'd still appreciate and feedback from anyone on what it might be, cost, and any other bogies I should expect!

Check here http://www.batteriesplus.com/product...-SLI95RH9.aspx for an appropriate replacement for around $200, then you may opt to find an indie with a gt1 or equivalent unit to register the rr. Registration is not "required" as no cel will become present, but it does "prolong" the service life of the new battery, you may also consider a battery tender http://www.bavauto.com/fland.asp?rid=11319 to prevent battery drain when the vehicle is "stored" for extended periods.

Hi cheers for the info, sounds feasable although just tried to jump it but totally dead now so looks like main dealer in the morning....oh joy! I can feel a re-mortgage coming on!
Annoying thing is it was fine that morning and has shown no signs of battery failure or drain in terms of warning lights etc.
P.S where's the battery on these suckers, I've only found the little red box and silver nut to jump it with? It's getting put on the diagnostics on monday which is £75 so I'll be pretty pissed if it is only the battery as knowing my luck the battery wont be covered!
Thanks again!
