Rookie
For some reason the headlights and interior lights turn on when the vehicle is parked and turned off. Now my battery is dead and won't take a charge. Any suggestions or know of a reliable mechanic in the Cocoa Beach, FL area?

MasterThis is actually a somewhat common problem with many BMWs There is a relay that clicks on and will turn on lighting, ex specially the interior lights while the car is parked over night. You need to trace down all the lighting relays and find the interior light relay and replace it, or have a good German shop do it.
