Last night my Dad went out to move his 96 Alpina B3 to make it a bit easier for me to get my bike out this morning, but when he put the key in the ignition all the lights came on, and a few more for good measure but no va va voom nothing no ddea battery style ra ra ra nothing just loads of lights stareing back at you from the dash
This morning he will be phoning BMW assist to come and sort it out, but does anyone have any idea what could be up with it?
