ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY:CABLES
What Happened
The positive battery cable in your BMW connects the battery to the rest of the electrical system. In some 2004-2010 5-Series, 6-Series, M5, and M6 models, the cable's connection to the trunk floor panel isn't secure, which could cause the connection to loosen and overheat.
Risk if Unfixed
If the cable connection overheats, it could catch fire, even when your vehicle is parked and not in use. This is a serious risk, so we advise you to park outside until the issue is fixed.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will inspect and tighten the battery cable connection for you, free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible to prevent any potential risks.
