This guide shows how to replace the battery in a 2016 BMW 3 Series F30. From the trunk, remove the plastic cover of the electric lock and the panel on the right side of the compartment. Under the removed panel, you can locate the battery.

After removing the metal bracket held in place by two bolts, disconnect the battery cables and unscrew the two mounting screws of the battery hold-down bar. Once the drain tube is disconnected, you can remove the battery. Reassembling the battery is straightforward as it requires performing the same steps in reverse order.
