to leave dead, won’t start. Pulled new batter, charged to 100% as it only
showed 50 on charger..replaced battery car starts but has lights on several
dash indicators. Went to oreillys tested alternator, test 1 bad diodes, test 2&3
alternator good. Read codes, air filter I have numbers  but reset codes now
dead. Ignition isnt even wanting to recognize it’s turned unless

With my ignition now acting up could it be the ignition switch. I can’t get it to cycle at all now it turns but doesn’t recognize position 2 or start

Did this ever get figured out? I have read that if you replace the battery in the car, the dealer, or a shop with a BMW computer needs to code the battery into the system.
