The battery is in the trunk under the mat on the right.
I just spoke to BMW they seem to think that the battery is dead,
But what i don't understand is that why would the car start first then when switched off and started again with in 2 mins would it not start up.

I went home yesterday after work and the car started first time god knows what happened there.
I had the battery checked yesterday and the battery was faulty so I had it replaced and the car started fine this morning.
