At least its sorted buddy, these BMW's are all the same, no warning !!

So they couldn't include a battery level gauge in iDrive when they can
tell me how much longer my brakes will last til change.... or if I'm
losing tire pressure....?

BTW, how long do these batteries last? When's a good time to change
them or do we just use em until they die....?

As a rule i'd change it out every 3 years!! for some reason the E60 eats the battery life, prob due to the idrive staying in idle mode for a while after stopping !!
