Tonight, i start it again, is kind of like...the battery dead, and all the lights are off, then...all in a sudden..seems like everything got reboot and the date and time , see attached pic, ........and it didnt start up the engine...and i have to wait till 5 mins..and it barely start the engine ....the car seems not as powerful as usual and seems like that i am driving a different car...
After i parked tonight, i start the engine again ...and again...it show my transmittion have problem, the date and time have to reset...and some information in my panel was back to "zero".....anybody know what had happen? is it just the battery dead..or is really my transmittion got problem?? i am ready for AK agian tomorrow...FXXK!!!

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.
Wow, that could mean that you have a very weak battery that needs to be replaced or you may have a bad alternator that it is not capable of charging your battery to its fullest. G/L

Yup - Low voltage. The modules are all restarting because the battery voltage is too low. It's probably not the alternator though - just the normal poor driving profile (meaning the car is not driven enough to charge the battery).
Thanks guys, i am going to change the battery today and finger cross if i can start my engine!!!! thanks!!!!
