Not sure if anyone can assist.
I have a new M3 2.0 Sedan bought in end Dec 12. A few weeks ago I went outstation and left the car unstarted for 7 days.
When I came back the battery was flat - SC claimed that this is normal for a new car battery as the battery is not yet fully charged up and the alarm was taking quite a bit of the electricity.
Can anyone verify the SC's answer? May I know after how many months before we can leave our cars for > X days without worrying the battery being flat?
For info, I did not encounter this in my previous car even though I left it unstarted for around 14 days.
Did you know SC always come with a lot of reason eventhough they don't know whats going on? Really. A lot of forumer here complain and SC always has something to say. Sometime feel like slappin their face only. They dont know anything and can always assume this or that.
I just came back from the states 2 month ago. Left my car for about 3 weeks without start. Came back and start the car without any problem at all. I bought my car March 2012. No problem with the battery so far.
I suggest you tell them to replace a new battery. They shouldn't ask you for money for the new battery. Should be under warranty.
Hope this helps.
