My current Beamer (M330) has a battery issue.Even with a new battery, t does flat if not driven for three weeks.It has a newish (calcium) battery - one year old andis OK.Team McMillan has run its diagnostics over it and decided to change the cellphone hands -free toonlyactive in drive.Alarm system has been checked too - including by Mongoose. All previous Beamers did not have this problem. Anyone else have a similar problem!And, if so, what was the solution! As a frequent traveller, I want to be solve this without doing anything cumbersome, such as removing the battery before each trip.

Check the boot light is going out. It may take somebody laying in the boot when you shut it but that can often be a problem.

Well, I don't think you will be helping TM!I have found nearby (GI) place that services Beamers.And my wife's Swift.But, in case they are as lost as I am, I thought I would seek informal advive too.Yes, the blower fan does continue for a while, but not that long.Interesting point about the boot light.I bet TM hasn't thought of that!
Thanks, all.

The Chinese mafia in Auckland often have that problem.
I wonder if they've had any warranty claims after any failed kidnapping attempts!

Oh, and Team MacMillan don't seem to have the good servicing reputation that they'd like you to think they have, do they!

Is the car in the garage at home!I dare say, the simplest solution might be to put a small ctek maintenance charger on it while you're not using it.

No, sadly.I can't get the damned thing over the concrete lip to a steep grade into garage.The car is too low-slung.

Thanks.Know the area roughly as one of the things I did was have the alarm tested by Mongoose.

I agree with Bob1120, he recommended them to me for a pre purchase inspection.Mind blowinglythorough, and professional to deal with.
Thanks Steve.
