I have an appointment for Jan 14th to perform the water pump recall so hopefully it can wait. I have a battery tender that I will plug in a few nights a week to keep battery in decent shape. Car seemed a little slow to start this AM.....
Car is currently at BMW. Battery was dying fast and barely started this AM. Battery only at 30% charge. I was thinking that the parking guys might have left the accessories on when they parked the car (NYC) killing the battery but this started to happen over the holidays when I was driving the car (a lot) and always locked the car never left the accessory or ignition on. During this time I was not in the City nor did I valet the car.

They are working on a diagnosis of the battery drain. Glad I brought it in as another day or so it would have required a tow...... I will update.
