My original BMW battery would not hold a charge so I got a new battery yesterday but not from the stealer. The original battery was rated at 850CCA and the new one is 900CCA. But when I start my car, it takes about a second to start. I recall that my old battery used to start the car immediately.

Is this delayed start time normal? How long does others e60 take to typically start? Thanks!

 

Ive recently had this problem too...I'm going in to check the battery and alternator tommorow....hopefully I just need a new battery... if anything though my battery is hardly 2 years old...

 

My car is acting normal now.

I think what happened was that I had the battery disconnected for too long of a period of time.
