I purchased a 97 740iL (116,000 miles to date) and in the last 4 months I have had the car jump started 6 times. It has a NEW battery (3 months) and in the dealership 5 times and they say they can find NOTHING! They checked alternator, battery and cables, starter, reprogrammed, kept a monitor on it overnight and as soon as you jump start it, it will last for about 3 - 5 days, then when I least expect it.... it's dead. When that happens the radio and everything works, but I hear a "click" sound and the car won't start. I'm ready to dump it after having it less than a year.
The dealership guy "slipped" twice and told me that I had this problem a "long" time and then realized I was a new owner and told me that the old owner is "protected" under the Privacy Act and he cannot give me any details prior to my purchasing it........
Any thoughts? Ideas? Anyone else have the starting problem????
HELP
