have you tried driving it around yet? I'm not trying to be sarcastic, but i've had such things appear after an extended break from the car and seen the exact same set of stuff (minus the battery discharge). It went away after 10 minutes or so and never came back

Yes..I went on a 45min drive and the error codes are still on the idrive screen.

Looks like your battery got discharged to a point where it won't recover. To avoid this (and after replacing a battery for $300+) I decided to get the Bmw charger for around $100.

I know on my x5 when the battery discharched, when you restart it there are numerous errors. Turn the steering wheel all the way to the left and then all the way to the right and the go away. Lock to lock.

100% Correct. If you turn the wheel lock to lock then center, the DSC warning will go away. This is normal when the battery dies, or is disconnected.

These batteries are very temperamental to sitting for periods of time. I would suggest getting a battery tender if you know the car will be sitting for a weeks+ time.

This is very common .. No worries it seems to be worst in the cold.. Battery tender will help..
