What did you do with your Grenadier today?

What do you do when your lost in a labyrinth in Moroccan desert? You take a view from above ;)

So @Clark Kent , airbag error?
And 100% SOC. Never had more than 94% meself. Usually struggle to keep it around mid 80s. Even before flattening the starter battery one day.
My starter battery has crept up to 99% while “charging” at 1 amp during very long drives (once, and only once, touched 100%).

I just mentally add 10% to mine and tell myself mine was poorly calibrated ex factory. Even though it probably isn't.

That said, the SOC worries were discussed in a GF thread ad nauseum a while back ; AI summarises the situation thus:
"
  • Intelligent Charging: BMW uses regenerative braking to charge the battery. The alternator increases output (13.7V–14.5V) during braking and may reduce or stop charging while cruising to save fuel, especially if the battery is above 80% SoC.
  • State of Charge (SoC): You can monitor the battery SoC percentage via diagnostic tools like Bimmerlink. A healthy, fully charged battery (engine off) should be above 12.5V, with operating percentages frequently in the 80% range."
