Battery discharging while car is stopped message

My 2012 E92 335ix 6M has less than 4000 miles on it. This morning I was greeted by a warning light showing a car on a lift. Checked it out and got a "battery is discharging when car is stopped" message. Temperature was about 32 degrees.

Some other threads (here and elsewhere) relate to this but were mostly about older batteries, different models of cars, and so forth.

I bought the car new in May 2012 and have not had any issues with this before. I drive to/from the office about three to five times a week (10 miles RT) and often on the weekends. Nothing has changed with my driving habits and this is certainly not the coldest temperature the car has experienced. The car has nav, the premium package and M Sport packages but does not have CA.

Thoughts?
