I had similar problem when purchased from out of state dealer and had car shipped. My 2012 x5m had 9k miles on when purchased. excess battery discharge light came on almost immediately after my pickup and attempted recharge at local BMW dealer. Not sure how true this is, but my local dealer "scanned" my key and told me the battery was not "maintained correctly" as they could prove excessive door opening, interior lights on etc without starting car/driving during time frame car sat on other dealer lot. Finally got other dealer to pay up after convincing them it would be in their best interest to pay rather than take poor web reviews and report to better business bureau. Have to check my receipt if cable was replaced but no problems since new battery.
