Slow Start and Warning Lights
I have a 2006 Z4 3.0i Roadster. I had the cylinder head replaced under warranty in mid-summer and it ran beautifully but recently, as its gotten colder in Chicago, the engine turns over slowly (battery?) and has occasionally displayed ABS and DSC warning lights come on when started. I turn the engine off and re-start and the warning lights go out. Also, started once about a month ago with a bit of white smoke out of the exhaust after a very hesitant start. Had to give it a bit of gas to get the engine to catch. Any ideas whether this could just be a battery issue or something more serious?

New Battery
Z4 needed a new battery and I bought a advanced charging system to keep the new battery up. Charger says I should leave the hood up when charging but doesn't say how far up....I forgot to ask the BMW tech. Any advice?

Thanks for the reply. The dealer says I'm not driving it frequently enough to keep the charge up? Any validity? They didn't cover the battery under warranty but did give me a break....no labor charge. I do travel a good bit and don't use the car every day.
