Battery question.
I just bought a 2008 335i. Will be leaving for a 2 weeks vacation this Monday. Should I disconnect the battery while we are away?

2 weeks isnt anything to worry about. Park the car as is and enjoy your vacation

^+1 - don't disconnect your battery. You'll end up having to re-set all your radio stations and settable options.

OP, I would just leave it connected. Unless you know of an accessory with excess current draw when the car is off, it should be fine. Best thing to do would be to keep it on a tender but it really isn't that necessary. |

Last time I had my battery disconnected, all of the settings disappeared. I know this because I recently replaced my battery, so don't be too sure about the settings being stored in the key fob; some are, some aren't.
