the dealer here said i need to take this up with Parkshore. they said the battery should've been checked before reselling and they should replace the battery and reimburse me for the $220
wish me luck

wish me luck | a few weeks or few months old car with a dead battery that needs to be replaced and to be paid out of pocket is just unacceptable.
Don't BMWs use AGM batteries? My parents' old BMW OEM battery (when they bought the car new) lasted 11 years and 146000km which was pretty amazing

its preowned, so its already a couple years old. what i find odd is the dialogist not covered if its a non warrantable part causing the problem.

If it’s a certified pre owned it should be covered under their comprehensive warranty for certified pre owned.
