battery light

[s.mac]

my battery light started to occasionally flash red at my recent croft track day. I thought it may be because it was getting a work out but now it comes on and off more frequently? any ideas ?
thanks

Happend to me mate on way back from the Ring, i thought exactly same until the light was constantly on when i got to France.

Alternator broke at the French Ferry

Get it checked asap mate

yeh, prob the regulator playing up, it will eventually fail, flattening your battery leaving you stranded

I'd get that one checked out soon ... if it's the alternator, it can leave you completely stranded.

Just been reading some of the older posts on this - scary stuff ! looks like I was lucky to get the thing home with the light on !!

Gonna lean on the warranty & BMW assist here. No point in driving the fecker now after reading Glendogs & Gastro's experience !!
