Video tutorial

In this video, we can see where the battery is located in the BMW 5 Series and how to proceed if we need to replace it, a very simple and quick operation. As shown, the battery is not positioned in the classic engine compartment but inside the trunk, in the area usually reserved for the spare tire.

Before proceeding with its removal, ensure that the key is not inserted, then open the trunk and remove the floor panel. Next, unscrew the mounting bracket bolts, disconnect both terminals starting with the negative, and remove the battery from its housing.
