Hi all took my 2010 e60 535xi with 70K miles out of storage to enjoy this spring summer only to find the CIC is dead. When getting the car out the battery was completely dead, I'm thinking now something is draining the battery as I've had to keep a charger on it every couple days since. When we finally got it running the CIC would boot up the BMW letters would come on the screen for a few minutes then it would reset and try again. I've been going for some drives during this shelter at home hoping something will just click and it will complete the boot up but no luck yet. Looks like I need to get a new CIC unless someone has a different idea? This also seems like its a stealershi...I mean dealership fix again unless someone knows another shop in southcentral WI or northern IL? Dealership has quoted ~$2100 all in to install new CIC but their description of options doesn't breed a lot of confidence. I can't even listen to the radio, the car turns on, clock is out, defaults to KM, the only sound I can get is a car door open or seat belt chime. I have a gut feeling that the CD player has a disc stuck in it but I can't remember and there is no way I've found to check since no buttons work eject etc.
