Are you in 2-wheel drive? 4-wheel is sluggish and 4-wheel drive with differentials locked is worse. When traction is good, worse yet.

Karl - I just bought the 500i (2nd owner). No off-road yet. I will compare 2-wheel to 4-wheel to differentials locked and get back to you.

Startcat battery connections and load test battery.

Battery cables clean and tight. Meter tests 12-13 volts. Can take battery to auto parts store for load test.

WHAT HAPPENED

The 4x4 feels sluggish starting after engaging "H" or "R":
  • remove parking brake
  • start uphill, or
  • downhill
  • turn right or left
  • or driving straight forward or backward

TESTS OK

  • foot brake not pressed
  • hand brake red light off

The 4x4 has been starting and running for several weeks. The story:
  • stopped at red light
  • signaled left
  • turned left
  • engine died

RESULTS
  • no gauges light up
  • no lights light up
  • no juice to starter

TESTS OK
  • trickle charged battery
  • all fuses solid
