Good Evening dear customer.

I hope your well.

Im just sending you a follow up message to see if you got my previous message relating to the battery starting issue on your BMW.

I have found on most cases that even a fully charged battery won't help as the cells inside the battery have dried up.

I would suggest a new battery and check the connections and earth cables to see if they are all perfectly intact.

I hope this information helps.

If theres anything else I can help with please don't hesitate to ask.

Hope you have a lovely day.

I would also like to thank you for using JustAnswer.

Take care.

All the best. Hemal Mistry
