They blame me for not driving enough at highway speeds. I have had the car for 13 months and have driven about 6,000 miles. This has happened about 5 times. The fix: hook the car to a charger overnight. A few times the check engine light as later gone out. I am frustrated that my loaded X6 5.0 is the "wrong car for me" because I live close to work and shopping.
Are you sure this isn't the infamous wrong battery problem , symptoms match exactly.
