What is your question?
last year weird messages would pop up steering stability, a picture of window, radio would like pop and turn off. Dealer said it was battery, then alternator, then battery wasnt registerd. I couldnt afford anymore so I drive it. Parked for winter, and just drove again, got tramsmission warniing, then window picture, then radio popped then it came back on. All messages go away and never come back on after I turn car on. Delaer says its a main computer, thats hard to get to and costs about 3000 totoal to repair and reset all things...I dont trust anyone anymore. I didint know this car was so expensive to fix, and now think I have to sell> I feel screwed by dealer...

do a search on replacing the battery on your car and not having it registered to your car with a special scan tool.it has to be registered to your car,or it will assume the other battery is still in it and not send out the correct voltages to each component,possible killing them.also it has to be an AGM type battery.most who replace battery themselves,do not know this.factory BMW battery last 7-10 years.if new battery is not registered,most likely it will not last more than 1 or 2 years. also should hook up battery saver,before removing battery to hold presets.note at autoparts(AZ)that sells your battery as follows.Part Number: H7-AGM:IF DEALER INSTALLED YOUR BATTTERY,THEY SHOULD HAVE REGISTERED YOU BATTERY TO YOUR CAR. Warranty: 3 YR Notes: *** 800 Cold cranking Amps (N/A cranking Amps) ***. 140 reserve minutes. Warranty consists of 3 years free replacement. STOP!: Use a memory saver (located in the store GOTTChA kit) to prevent the need to reset vehicle systems. Battery gasses need to be vented to outside. Contact your service specialists.
