Everything you’re saying is 100% right because this happens to me when I have the key in my pocket I hear my car going crazy and I usually keep it in my room. I don’t keep it in the garage so I know what you’re saying is the fax. Thank you so much. I appreciate you.

[robcarney]

awesome information! I just purchased a '15 X5 and 2 days after, put in a USB adapter in place of the cigarette holder and the next day the battery (only 2 weeks old replaced by BMW) was completely dead. Neither my mechanic or BMW Service said it could have been due to the charger and as soon as I removed it, the issue went away

[davmar]

Extremely good advice. Thank you. I realise my battery drainedfrom leaving an aftermarket blue tooth device in the 12v socket near the gear lever. I would think that the 12v socket would turn off when locked but after watching your advice I realise that's the issue.

You’re vids are very informative, but I had to take a break from it because, it seems like BMW is riddled with issues, whereas cars that are cheaper don’t have half the issues that BMW comes with and they cost a grip.

[elliotdavis]

Mate this is really good extra info thank you. Last battery off RAC bloke had no idea BMW need battery registered told him why from a previous vid of yours. I use car everyday, I have use boot battery switch to storage mode when go holiday if it’s over 2 weeks.

How can you test the door lights/handles? What would need to be replaced it that was the cause? Is there a fuse you could remove to test if that's the cause of the drain?

[Edwin-kmxk]

Great video. I agree with you. That’s why I keep my 320i completely stock from the factory

[call_me_Febz]

Thank you for such a great video. I had high battery discharge warning for one day, I don't know what I did but now I know more to prevent it from happening again.💪

My aftermarket starter was what was causing a drain for me.. guess it wasn’t installed properly

[autops]

I fixed the battery drain on my Ford Kuga by removing the fuse of the touch sensitive door handles. Pity I replaced the battery and alternator first! The door handles were switching on the computer every five minutes when the car was all locked up and switched off. I needed two volt meters and make it think the doors were shut and locked, then looked through all the fuses in all the fuse boxes. One meter had to have very long cables as needed to see the amps the battery was pulling while in the boot. I never fixed the handles as the central locking still worked as did the boot catch.

Thanks! I have this problem in my E90 i have changed the bathery 3 times!

[eggzotiq]

Thank you very very much. Very comprehensive and correct information, not available in other BMW battery drain help videos. None of them solved my problem but you supplied me all the knowledge I need to solve it. Thanks again...

Key proximity not an issue for non-comfort access. My lpfp doesn’t do a thing until I unlock it.

[oviss]

I have a 2020 x4 with confort access, I selected to lock the car after I live the car after living the car, but the car is not locking…what can be the problem?

Just found this video, I'm 2 years late, I have E60 530d 2005ish, had no problems untill recently the dash kept retuning clock, trip mpg ect to zero with a car on lift, yes battery went flat had new one fitted but not registered to car, went flat again took battery back under warranty they put a more expensive and well known replacement in, the mechanic checked with his computer gadget found a lot of old faults registered so cleared them but said it seems that my BMW didn't give the option to register, does this sound correct, I'm touching wood as I haven't had problem since but panic everytime I go to use car after a couple of days. You sound very knowledgeable what area do you live in wish you were close by as I need someone like yourself to service check my car. O yes I have subscribed very good video.

I have been reading in to this and seems like there are so many things on battery drain.

For one I want to mention that I own an E92 and I have wired in a sub from the aftermarket sony radio that was fitten in by the previous owner and ran it for two years with no issues. Only lately started noticing some issues with drainage and removing the sub and radio did not help so I'm on a futher quest to find what it is.

Battery was tested to be good and I recharged it once for the test, alternator charges a good 14V although I haven't tested if it drains when off, and the odd thing is that quite often the car will always perfectly do one crank and then stop. Using a 2nd battery quite often would help but not always, strangely enough using better leads worked whereas using those cheap ones worked when starting from a car (and for some reason 2k revs helps start), this currently has given me a clue that it might be a grounding issue as currently my theory is that if I can ground to another car it seems to work but not sure. And also that the car would drain only if the car remains unlocked. I'm treating it as a clue to the problem.

So just wanted to add to this video that I have also read that you should check your Engine Grounds, that starters ground can go off/unscrew apparently too, and then check if you have IBS on the negative cable on your battery. If you have IBS then some have said disconnecting (or for some was disconnected so connecting...) fixed the issue; given you might have to change the part if disconnecting helped.

Another great and informative video! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I’ve had increased battery discharge come up on idrive on e92 and first thing I’ll try is unplugging phone charger

[johnalvitre]

As always, excellent info. for us all. I am on my fourth BMW, a 2013 E70 X5 35i and I am having power issues. So here is my question... if the 12v battery was good, no big issues going on. But then, the electric parking brake went bad so I had it replaced and then it went bad again a week later, so they replaced it again under warranty but said they had to reprogram the car...I then experienced failure to start. Could it be that when they reprogrammed the car as they told me they had to do when it damaged the second parking break module, they reset the battery from old to new? I am wondering if this is now the problem I am experiencing because the car starts at times and other times, it needs a jump with a battery pack, only using 1-2%. It seems so minimal and now, after listening to you here, I am thinking the battery may have a problem that is coming from a charge issue because it was reprogrammed to new but the older original battery is in car still. Thoughts?

[heheadznotheailz]

Do you have a video on 1993 325is battery drain solution?

[nglo]

Does having a aux and usb connected cause battery drain too or does that shut off power and only for cigarette lighter ?
