335d elelctrical problems (won't start...)

theskunk · 08-27-2012, 10:42 AM

2011 335d, just completed a 1800 mile trip in the last week from NC to FL, around FL, and then back. Life was great on the trip -- i washed the car saturday and when starting it to pull back into the garage noticed it took a bit to start, also had a low pressure warning on drivers rear.

So now, the car doesn't start at all and i'm trying to get it to bmw. Any suggestions on what i could be in for? 54k on the clock, have the highest extended warranty that they have available... any chance this will be covered or if not, how much $ am i looking at here?

Thanks for any suggestions/assistance!

Well -- bad cell in the battery, not covered under warranty, 522.00.

update: after discussing with bmwusa, I am a happy customer of theirs. Feel free to make assumptions as to how this occurred
