Is it a requirement to be condescending when on a bmw forum in order to help? I didnt get the memo.. did you have anything RELEVANT to add to the thread? Keep in mind this does not only help me it helps others who search in the future, as I did for hours on end

Come on man... I don’t think what neilj35 said is condescending at all, and if it’s what I’ve been saying, I certainly didn’t mean to be. Anything I might have said that came across that way came from a place of perplexity and not from a desire to be rude. If that isn’t how it was taken, then I am sorry.

It sounds like it’s a good thing I didn’t read the unedited post.

Neil is right: we’re trying to help. If you’ve seen his posts, you’d he’s very knowledgeable. When a number of good suggestions are made but are seemingly ignored, it comes across as unappreciative. In a sense, it’s like saying, “thanks for the advice, but I think it’s actually this thing. Or that thing.” I’m sure you also don’t mean it that way, but it can seem like it at times.

What we’re trying to do here is help you figure it out. Both so you can avoid taking your car to the shop, as well as for posterity.

I do wish you luck in figuring this out.

what advice has been ignored? I cant pull a computer program and cable out of thin air.. I do have a cable on the way though. Ordered a foxwell came today and they sent wrong model number had to re order..

for what its worth ive had the car on/off cycled today probably 10+ times and not a single battery error yet, or weird noise etc.. Odd

been good for the last 4+ days with 0 issue. I went to put in the old battery today since its still good and return the old one in the process I blew the FRM apparently.. luckily there is as extended 156k mile 10year warranty on that unit. When I went to the dealer they also informed me I have an SULEV engine, and I have 150k miles/15 years on alot of things as well which was good news..
