i bought my E90 330i in 2011 and i think it got its battery replaced before i took ownership. so my experience may not be representative of your experience. however, i DD my E90 and commute 10 miles round trip, city driving, approximately 10 to 15 min. no low battery issues.

maybe what you're experiencing is the battery cable recall? i've got an 06 and apparently, not part of the recall. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=804545
