It happened again 2 weeks later and now they are saying that the battery may be low. Does anyone know what can cause this to happen and should be concern that once my warranty runs out, it will keep happening? The dealer has ordered the gateway module to fix this but my level of confidence in them is low at this point. Please provide advice, i appreciate it.
Well you got a 7 series so it's be ready to deal with some serious electronics gremlins. Welcome to 1st world problems.. I would have the battery tested first as it's easy to do. Since you have warranty I highly suggest you'd let the dealer look at it..

The 7 series depreciates like a roller coaster drop. Reason being is that once out of warranty it becomes really expensive to maintain/repair. Also please stop hitting curbs
