One of two things could be the issue. I would drive it to an AutoZone or similar parts store. They will check the battery (under load, as any battery will normally show 12+ volts with a voltmeter) and should be able to determine if it is the battery or the voltage regulator. Unfortunately if it is the regulator you may have to get another battery as well. But since you can drive for an hour or so after a jump, I would say the battery is not holding charge correctly and needs to be changed. Hope this helps

How do u jump start BMW without being able to get to battery

Hi Ricky

Under the bonnet/Hood you should see a red cap thing with a + sign on it, this is the possessive to the battery lift off the cap and there should be what looks like a brass looking bolt connect red live jump lead to this, and the earth wire can connect to any ware under the bonnet/hood where it will make a ground, some also have a black thing with a - on it just connect the earth/black jumper to that and then you can jump start hope that helps

2002 BMW 740i will not start

Take your battery to the parts store and have them test it. If its an original replace it anyways batteries only have a 5 to 7 year life span. on another note when your window walked off they may have damaged a switch in the door. this may be causing your display issues.

98 bmw 740i wont start

I would first check the condition of the battery. If the battery is okay, that is it puts out enough current to operate the starter. I would then check for a short. The battery would be dead in a couple of hours only if there is a short or another load on the battery.
