Has anyone figured out if there is a way (e.g., a la old school E46-like OBC hack to view OBD system info via dash) to get the X5 40e to cough up the current EV battery charge capacity (i.e., what % of capacity is currently available to the battery pack). I have searched using google to no avail...maybe it is only available via and OBDII connected terminal...but I thought I'd ask...after 2.5 yrs, our battery seems to be roughly 7.x kWh based on charge time with a Level 1 or 2 charger....and the warranty on the pack triggers at 70% of the original capacity....

Thanks!
