Unlike many drivers who expect to find the battery under the hood, the BMW 3 Series F31 has its battery located in the rear cargo area. To access it, remove the floor panel.

Then, follow the standard procedure: disconnect the negative terminal, which is black, first, and then the positive terminal, which is red. Once you have removed the old battery from its location, install the new one by reversing the procedure: connect the positive terminal first, followed by the negative terminal.
