i think I may have stumbled onto something. History has shown that when a battery gets low on a BMW, the dash can light up with weird errors. I finally remembered this this afternoon and put the battery charger on the 40e (charging the normal car battery). It jumped to 3 amps (on the 2 amp setting). This after driving it quite a bit on the engine on Saturday.

We'll see if things hold and the lights are a thing of the past.
