This is my thought, dont need to drive car till friday so if low then my guess will be the battery as off the car was holding charge ( 2 days once fully charged). Been racking my brains tho ( dont take to long ..LOL) Had the car 2-3 weeks now, battery was fine for 2 weeks and the only thing electrical i have done is rear fog lamp bulbs and the boot lid bulb ( which was missing) but dont have ski flap so cant tell wether switching off, also as i said i had driven about 20 miles since getting it and had been valeting the car, playing around with TV/ Stereo etc so hoping just drained the battery but time will tell...did notice tho, the car has what looks like a new Exide Battery 95ah... it has a magic eye which when green is ok , Black is recharge, white is replace.. when got car it was green , when died it was black so recharged but the the eye is still black..so maybe could be knackered, if dies again will take to my uncles motor spares shop and get tested, also get charging system checked.... watch this space..LOL

As is want £750 for it....MOT ran out in FEB but been sittin on my drive since November when we got a new car, up till then driving every day and was really quick, Got strut brace, polybush top mount, ripspeed cone filter, think was doing 0 to 60 in about 5.7 secs but mid range was awesome. does need some work tho, has a dent on drivers door and rear wheel arch, the person i got it off his DAD kindly painted the bumpers with bumper paint when they are colour coded, think it could do with a gear box mount as slight vibration when in drive on idle, may need new discs and pads front and rear and also think there is a slight blow on exhaust near cat.... to be honest she sounds a lot worse than she is, done about 160,000 got service history till 143,000... depends what day it is as sometimes i thnk i will sort her out then others just sell her as is..

The bloke i bought it off said it was brand new but have othing to prove this....the magic eye on the battery when i got the car was green ( ok ) but when died was black ( needs recharge) so to be honest not sure... it looks new but then again being in the boot they always do... gonna put it back on today and see if it holds...if not its foooked and will be a new one...Have nt had any error messaages or unusual behaviour, car ok friday then dead saturday......

510....................

Was thinking this...noticed the battery on is a 95 ah and should have a 110 really, with all the toys it has ... me thinks an Optima battery could be coming....then that could mean ICE upgrade....cheer the missus up..LOL

My very first car was bright yellow, a mitsubishi colt lancer 1979......Number plate was BAR 233T...... called it Bart...never guess why..LOL......

In the process of elimination... done the same just removed the car phone and also if it has traffic master apparently this can cause a big drain even if not subsribed to, so gonna disconnect that, charged battery last night and has taken a charge so hopefully all ok

I had a 330 conv M tech sport, the wife loved it, stiff enough for handling but not so bad it breaks your spine... would def go for the sport, think every BM i have had is a sport.... the 7 series i have at the mo is a sport and still feels like its on air but great round corners.....
