anyone into E60's ?

i got the super cool "excessive battery drain" issue, read about all i could about the ibs,...

if i do a summary, its anything in between the tail lights and the front fog lamps....lol...

 

the car doesnt want to go in sleep, period. inherently sets up the battery drain message, bla bla bla.

 

i try to find a specific info, can the IBS cause the care to NOT go in sleep....that is the question. otherwise it can be anything.

 

this car drives me nuts, totaly. too much electronic fails, engineering fails to say the least.

 

there is absolutely no way to tell "why" the car doesnt want to go in sleep....lol...i have inpa, carsoft and whats not.

 

no way dude...lol.

I had a high battery drain issue in my e60. It turned out to be the fuel pump was running and keeping the car awake. Cant recall the fix but it may have been a relay? I will look to see if I can find my service records.

thanks for the reply....

on mine its totaly random. i disconneted the IBS as per the common thing to do, no change. its sad that there is absolutely NO way to tell, i talked with a friend who works at the local BMW dealer...its their nightmare.

"k line fault" as the initial problem, poped out from various modules into the car. it can be realy anything. kind of thing to ruin out someone if he wants to fix it....
