The batteries don't go flat, at 0% there is a save charge level still in the battery. However, 8 months is a long time. It won't have helped the battery life. If fully charged before it might have just survived before turning into a brick. Wouldn't have bought it to be honest. 91% still sounds O.K. for the cells. The exposed "window" however should have hidden that from you. 91% visible would be O.K. for a Tesla (they allow full capacity use up to max. Voltage to advertise higher kWh and range). For BMWs more conservative strategy it is a concern.
