That definitely looks like a battery issue.
Mine is more subtle but takes longer to startup.

Oddly enough now it's getting colder (4° c in the morning here) it's not happening so much

Here are around 10 degrees, but it doesn't seem like it's weather related. Made a service appointment and I'll keep updated.

Did you get the battery changed in the end?

Mine is now saying 69% when I start it up in the morning.

Getting a new battery next week.

Yes, the battery was the problem and got a new one, but not the OEM one as the price BMW told me was more than double.

Fortunately, I found a battery dedicated service here and they even came to change the battery in front of my house for almost 200€. They also coded the battery.

I had 3 options for my 70Ah AGM battery, Varta, Exide and Pactor. Never heard of Pactor and I heard that Vartas ar not so good so I chose the Exide one as the service guy recommended. He said they have a new technology that makes the battery life longer. Hopefully it's true

BMW asked 50€ just to check the old battery and I had to let the car there for about half of the day. Too much time just to connect a tester.
