Covered under warranty (as it should be)

Tech told me to grab a charger and plug it in overnight every so often and I won't have this problem.

It's a design flaw, I think eventually it'll happen to everyone.
Too much parasitic drain on these cars.
You maybe right. Seems like your battery doesn't hold charge sufficiently. I'm sure your familiar with this region of ontario where I reside. Back in the 90s I lived in Sudbury and my E90 didn't experience any dead battery and up there the temperature dips to minus 40 for several days. I'm beginning to have less and less faith in dealerships and their diagnosis.
