Ya man it was probably your battery. When they sit as long as yours did they will slowly fail. I just replaced mine again for the 3rd time cause I never drive mine any more.

Also resetting the ECU by unplugging it for 30min or 2hrs, what ever the hell it is, might help also. I think they adjust to your climate change.

Also hit me up man. We need to get things crackin! 8)

Thanks guys, dealer replaced the battery, injectors, all fluids. Car is runnning good, I feel like it idles a bit more rough than it used to but all is good. I think I just need a proper tune and i'll be good.

The batteries don't seem to last long on these cars. I can't leave my M5 for more than a week without the battery being flat when I go to start it. I either need a new battery, or a trickle charger. I'm afraid to leave it at the airport when I go on trips because of this.

lol same thing with mine. Super bizar. Its probably because it has so much damn electronics and it just leaks everywhere. I started to just unplug the positive, but leaving the negative on must have been another way for it to drain through the chassis... I learned by having to get a new battery. Good thing is that the battery has a 5 yr warranty!! haha!
