Display issues

Everytime I start my car the past four days I have to reset the clock and all my trip information and gas mileage calculations are gone.

Car starts without issues, so the battery seems fiine.

Any thoughts?

I did get a code last week that was "personal access comfort group"

If you have Comfort Access you can try replacing the battery in the key fob.

That would affect the mpg display and clock?

No. Usually when this happens it's because of a weak/dying battery. I'd take it somewhere and have the battery tested just to be sure.

Have the battery tested - symptoms you describe are typical of a failing battery. The battery in my wife's 2011 128i convertible was fine for 3 years, and then failed almost immediately. If you have an 08 and the battery has never been replaced, it's more than likely the cause of your problem.

If you need a battery or want it checked take it to pacificmotorsports on Powell BLV in Portland that's if you don't have CPO.
