Strive for a work environment that allows for continuous improvement over delayed perfection

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/11/06

Interesting picture posted by [Wayback/Archive] Syed Balkhi on X: “It always seems impossible until it’s done.”

DIY resetting service "due" lights… - Page 5 - BMW 1 Series Coupe Forum / 1  Series Convertible Forum (1M / tii / 135i / 128i / Coupe / Cabrio /  Hatchback) (BMW E82 E88 128i 130i 135i)It looks like my E61 needs the battery to be charged at least every few weeks. Need to figure out why.

At first I thought this might be a key-fob issue (which was also running low on batteries), but that is a different icon. A few weeks later without using the car, date and time in the car were being reset, so it is definitely a car battery charge issue.
