I've never experienced the increased battery discharge when the weather is not freezing. I can leave my car parked for a week or 2 without any trouble. The problem is when the weather gets cold. I get the warning when the temperature is -20C since the fans work overtime each time I park the car and they can run for a maximum of 30 minutes
The question is : has anybody been able to have the battery replaced by BMW on warranty with this bulletin?

I feel BMW forgets a lot of folks. An X6M 2014 is exactly the same as an X6M 2010-2014 and also as an X5M 2010-2013.
BMW canada doesn't want to do anything with my battery yet.
