The spiral symbol on a BMW 5 during a cold start usually indicates the glow plug system, which is normal for diesel engines. The low battery issue could be due to corroded or loose battery terminals. Checking and cleaning the terminals or testing the battery for potential replacement are suggested solutions.

The spiral symbol typically indicates the glow plug system, which is used to preheat the engine in diesel vehicles. If your BMW 5 is a diesel, this is normal during cold starts. For the battery issue, start by checking the battery terminals for corrosion and ensure they are tightly connected. If the problem persists, have the battery tested to see if it needs replacement. Let me know how it goes or if you have further questions!
