    In case anyone else runs into this issue, it was not the battery (even though it's an original 7 year old battery), but the CCC (car communication computer). It failed and had to be replaced. Luckily it was covered by my extended warranty, otherwise it's a $1400 repair. My dealer had never seen this issue before and didn't know what caused it to fail. They also took care of a recall/campaign on the oil lines feeding the turbo SI M11 05 13.

    Thanks. I have an appointment with my dealer in about 2 weeks and I'll post the outcome if it's not resolved by then.

    If you had a 1st gen MINI, I would have suggested to check the condition of your car battery. I don't remember seeing similar reports for the R56, but it is worth checking.

    rkw you might be on to something though with the battery. Maybe it does the same thing in the 2nd Gens too. YeloMini is it the original battery? If so maybe the battery is dying as rkw suggested!? Get it checked out might just be that simple.

    It's the original battery. It's kept fully charged on a battery tender every day while it's not being driven. It shows 12.9 volts when not on the tender and the car is shut off. Usually shows 13.9 while driving.
