My Ride: Black/BlacK
So at the recommendation of my local indy mechanic I took the car into the dealer to see if it's my battery that's bad (tested it's bad) can be replaced under warranty cause this Dealer was the one who previously replaced it. Or if my car is at fault he stated something about the e60's negative terminal .. So head to the dealer and am told I might have to leave it till Monday !!! For a battery ?! I get the SA to try and push it for today he said he'll try and it only takes so long cause they have to test the battery etc and if I wanted I coils buy a battery but it'll cost around 500 bucks?!! WTF! So here I am waiting till 4 contempleting my choices if It doesn't get done by today I can take the car back (it needs to be jumped) and try and buy a battery from autozone and hope that was th only issue or leave it tlll Monday... Guys what should I do (assuming most of you would be like fck the dealer) what battery would I need to buy ? And I'm gutted cause this ruins my plans 
lol

Save yourself anymore trouble and go get a battery somewhere else. I got mine from BatteriesPlus last june and have had no problems since (didn't even registered it). Just make sure the battery specs are the same as oem. good luck

Omg lmao you shouldce seen me when the guy came in and said sir, dramatic pause ... It'll be fixed under warranty free of charge your car will be out soon ! Shit myself with disbelief but let's wait till I get actual deliwvry of the car before really being surprised with the service .. Might be the first time I'm with the dealer and got out on a reasonable time with my wallet intact!

Yeah, I got connections like that. I just got of the phone with that guy and told him to take care of my buddy who's in the black 530 for a batt issue. He said, "I'm on it LabRat, I'll take good care of him." haha lol j/k
Glad to hear your warranty covered it.

Eric, Dude...STOP going to BMW of MANHATTAN. They are a bunch of mess. If your e60 is under warranty and needs work done, take it to Park Ave BMW in NJ. 15mins off the GW Bridge. They give everyone a loaner car regardless if you purchased your BMW from there or not unlike the NY Dealerships.
I have good acquaintance with the finance manager at Park Ave BMW and I quote, "We give everyone a loaner car regardless if they had purchased a car from our dealership or not. I mean its not like we are losing money or the service department is losing out. We get paid regardless".
And trust me its alot of fun taking their loaner car out for a spin on the turnpike and in to Manhattan for a few hours till the SA calls your cell phone and says your car is ready!
