might be signs of a tired battery.

If you're lucky, the warmer spring weather (laughs) might prolong it's life till Autum  RRS gone

just checked mine does fall into the said window of chasis nukbers what do i do now and how do i find out thanks pete "Remember its easier to say sorry than it is to get permission " especially off the Mrs !!

I suppose you can call a dealer and find out if the TSB was ever applied to your vehicle - I assume they keep such things on a central database.
If it's not been done, then I guess they should call you in to carry it out.  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
