Awesome, thanks for all the tips… now… is there a special way to charge the battery? 😛 I had this thing on the charger for 2 hours, then tried jump starting it and it had literally no juice. New battery, but its been sitting for about 8 months i guess ---

Get it load tested see if it holds the charge. Otherwise leave it trickle charging for 24 hours. ---

There’s a ton of stuff that could draw power. Do you have an aftermarket radio or anything like that? No its all stock, but like i said the owner put a brand new battery in it, then it just sat for 6-8 months, not sure if he ever started it or charged it. So i’m assuming its a lead-acid battery…? And if thats the case sulfation probably got the best of it and its toast… [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/bmw-resources/256061.md?page=2)
