Battery, IBS and alternator wasn't the culprit on my F01, still attempting to find the issue...even replaced my comfort access handles....still persists
You most likely have a parasitic drain somewhere then. Probably one of the modules in your car doesn't completely shut off with the car. I had a similar issue in one of my cars and it turned out to be the module for the power seats. Let me know what it turns out to be. Good luck and thanks for supporting the channel.
Hi I was getting battery discharge. Changed out my battery and programmed the error message is gone. I went to start it the next morning and the battery is completely dead but my push to start button is lit up. Prior to changing out the battery I had an error message with my driver seat. Can you please help this has been extremely stressful.
Have you tested your alternator to make sure it is recharging your battery? A dead battery will affect auxiliary functions of the car like door locks, seat controls, folding mirrors and such.
Hi BimmerModz the discharge of battery could be due to the IBS or not? because I already took my battery 2 times to be checked and they tell me thatthe battery is working good but they said to probably the alternator is not good because the voltage is more than 15.70 and is overloading, if you can give me a advise I really appreciate it Thanks.
If the battery is good, I would say the next culprit is typically the alternator. If the alternator is "overcharging" the battery I would make sure that your alternator is good. Overcharging the battery will significantly shorten the life of that battery as well. People think if you don't see lights flickering on your dash, your alternator is good but that is not always the case. If it turns out your alternator is good, I would then check the IBS as it is responsible for monitoring and distributing battery voltage. If all that checks out, as a last ditch effort, you might have a parasitic drain on the battery from one of the modules in the car not going to sleep properly when you turn off the car.

Hey bro, I have a bmw 435i gran coupe. Car started dying and needed jump start so I changed the batterie to a new one same spec and reprogrammed it.. still dies and need jump start after 3 hours when turned off please help it’s been 3 days it’s been doing this 😩😩😩😩😩😩 after a 15 min drive the battery is 12.7 volt off but after 3 hours it’s 0 volt
Is your alternator good? If the alternator isn't recharging the new battery it will die fairly quickly depending on the draw. If your alternator is good, you might have a parasitic draw where one of the modules in your car is always on and doesn't go to sleep when you turn off your car. I would also check your IBS as well.
Hey man, changed my battery, alternator. message still persist. start button would still be lit up after 16 mins of locking the car. what could be the cause and which module that’s keeping it awake?
My 13 F30 active hybrid discharges after traveling a long distance but fully charges again after the engine has cooled down, the message sometimes pops up while I'm driving
I'm assuming you already checked the battery to make sure it is good. If that is the case, check to make sure your alternator is good. After that, I would check the IBS (Intelligent Battery Sensor) cable, generally connected to the negative post of your battery and grounded to the chassis of car. Thank you for supporting the channel.
I'm assuming your battery and alternator is in good working condition. If that is the case, I would check the IBS sensor. If that is okay, you might have a parasitic drain caused by a module not shutting down properly when you turn off your car, draining your battery. Once the battery drain gets low, it could trigger your alarm.

Hi there, I left town for 3 weeks and car just parked there for 18 days. I came back and saw this message on my idrive screen. I drove the car for 30 mins and this warning message went away for now (haven’t seen it since). Is my battery bad (need to be replaced), or was it just a one time thing where I left the car stationary for too long? Thanks!!
If you drove the car enough to recharge the battery that is a fairly good sign. I would say if the discharging sign doesn't come back on the next couple days, you're in the clear and you just let the car sit too long without driving. When batteries are on the "outs" they will still charge up but they will discharge pretty fast. You will know over the next 2-3 days if this is happening or not. If not, you're good to go. I would at least start the car on a weekly basis or keep a trickle charger on it. Lastly, having the battery drain almost to empty like that wears out the battery cells prematurely. Thank you for supporting the channel!
@@bimmermodz1364 much appreciated for your feedback! Yes, I’ve been driving the car more often now and haven’t seen the discharging warning message since the day that it popped up! Thanks for the clarifications! Will sub’Ed for sure
Hey bro. Have you checked your IBS (Intelligent Battery sensor? If you IBS sensor is bad even if you replace the battery, you will still get battery discharging fault.
Sorry just saw this, sounds like you have a parasitic drain somewhere. When you changed the battery and IBS, was your car battery discharging a few days later? It is common (over time) for certain module that suppose to shut off with the car do not and create a drain on battery. Also, some times when alternator is on the way out, it will not charge your battery properly too but normally you will experience other issues like lights flickering on dash, etc.
When you say a while, how long? Are you driving the car at least once a week? Also, when you initially replaced battery, did the discharging battery message go away? Lastly have you taken the car for a decent ride 30-60 mins after you replaced battery?

Do you know a scan tool that can prime fuel system in 2014 535d
Have you looked into Foxwell NT510? I believe that scanner has the capability to do it.

if it keeps going up and down most of the time is the altenator
Correct spelling is "Alternator" which is functioning perfectly! Was the battery my friend...

Hey. Did you check the IBS sensor?
@@bimmermodz1364 got it solved, it was my cluster. got a used set and reprogrammed it.
Thanks for the follow up and letting me know. Glad its fixed. I don't come across a parasitic drain from cluster that often. Nice work!
