Took the F25 X3 in to the dealer for warranty fixes on the passenger heated seat and aircon not working.

Turns out the battery was low enough that what the car considers non-important services such as passenger heated seat and aircon are disabled. Drivers side heated seats is important enough to continue apparently.

The battery wasn't quite low enough to trigger the battery warning light but below the threshold for the above.

So that's £150 down the drain for an investigation.... should have charged the battery first! LOL...
