Questions on 2007 550i
I'm really new to the car enthusiast lifestyle. I've had a 07 550i sitting in my garage for about 2 years. I'm trying to get it up running again and make it my "project car". Before i left it to sit it was blowing white smoke, it wasn't overheating I drove it for about two weeks then got a new car. Now I'm trying to get it back up it looks like the battery is completely dead tried to jump it a few months ago and i couldn't get it to start some friends said it might be the alternator. Today I'm taking the battery to get charged if that doesn't help what should I look at next.

These cars draw power just sitting there, so your battery is toast after two years. Don't waste money on charging it, just get a new one and get it registered.
