the dealer here said i need to take this up with Parkshore. they said the battery should've been checked before reselling and they should replace the battery and reimburse me for the $220
wish me luck

wish me luck | a few weeks or few months old car with a dead battery that needs to be replaced and to be paid out of pocket is just unacceptable.
Don't BMWs use AGM batteries? My parents' old BMW OEM battery (when they bought the car new) lasted 11 years and 146000km which was pretty amazing

its preowned, so its already a couple years old. what i find odd is the dialogist not covered if its a non warrantable part causing the problem.

If it’s a certified pre owned it should be covered under their comprehensive warranty for certified pre owned.

I feel like all modern batteries go flat after sitting for a while, even brand new vehicles have the same problem.

Yeah modern cars with proximity sensors/online connectivity crap drain batteries pretty good. Use a trickle charger

Even the manual for my 07 Grand Cherokee said to pull certain fuses out if it's parked for more than 2 weeks.

It’s alive sort of. TL;DR 2 months no-crank was a revolving door of DOA new battery and DOA new starter, faulty PCM communication, WMI fault causing 20L of fluid to flow into the intake/fmic, possible hydrolock, and there’s more.
Seems ok for now but it’s not as sweet as it was. Still sounds insane though  | |

The focus has been extremely reliable if you don’t count the things I’ve done to it. Any issues I’ve had were direct consequence to my modifications

Oh for sure. Nothing beats sitting in your own car.
We got chauffeured around for the most part in HK. I couldn’t deal with the mtr or ding dings so we either took cabs or just stole her relative’s drivers. Spy balloon was afraid I might accidentally trip an ah mo or turn around and push an ah bak….. who said it was accidental ?!

We were in HK too and every time we walked into a MTR station, she would yell no train, no train.
We ended up taxiing a lot due to the kids with time and convenience.
