I supposed that the AAM mechanic didn't have much knowledge for BMW and he simply didn't want to take the risk. Following your reply, I have just called my mechanic at German Mechanics and I asked for a better option with no risk and the answer is to disconnect the battery and send it over to the garage to recharge it. He also said the same thing that it's ok jump start the car. However, the best possible way is to recharge it separately. I didn't know that I was going to be away for such period of time. Even if I did, I still didn't know that it would be best to remove the battery. lol...Anyway, I appreciate your response. Cheers... :top:AstroBoy, if it were a manual car, yes, I would like the idea to push it, just like in the movies. Haha... :laugh:Yes, I agree that it takes some knowledge to jump start the car. Very good metaphor on explaining how to jump start a car with the medicine story. :hahaha:Thanks mate!Oh by the way, I'm glad that the battery that the AAM mechanic wanted to sell to me didn't fit my car cos I just found out that an original BMW battery cost around RM500, which is the same price as the one I almost bought from him and a normal low maintenance battery cost around RM300 only. Mate, what a waste would it be for me if it did fit.</blockquote>
