This week I took the car to a nearby shop to get the battery tested, and it showed it was charging, and recharging fine. What could be the issue here?

Thank you!
The first time that happened to my '07 E91, the alternator and IBS unit were replaced. When the problem resurfaced 6 months later, it turned out to be a bad wire shorting to ground.

As I understand it, there is a service bulletin on the shorting problem so you might want to take it to a dealer.
