“2024 X7 with 13k miles on it roughly. Have had multiple drivetrain malfunction issues that caused car to not start. Dealer first did a software update which i dont believe fixed anything. second time the issue happened they said it was due to the car battery not being charged enough. car has had multiple issues related to low charge. BMW says its due to me not taking the car on long enough drives. However the charging on the car is inconsistent and faults related to the 48volt charging system which have stated (repair required soon) 224F8F were cleared by the dealer and not investigated. …”
