My 525i was doing that all the time I was not driving it for awhile. I got used to it.Originally Posted by winfred

my car does the exact same thing.i think the ecu internal memory battery has lost it's juice and therefore cannot remember the previous conditions.it takes 4-5 starts and half a day of driving to resume to it's former state.
during the first 2/3 years of owning the car it was ok to disconnect/reconnect the battery.did not require the 'learning' process unlike now.
