How to Replace the Battery in My BMW X3

Model: BMW X3 MK 2, F25 - Years 2010-2017
Part: Battery

This guide will show you how to easily and independently replace the battery in your BMW X3. Before you start, the first thing you need to do is open the rear hatch of the trunk, as this is where the battery is located in our X3. Begin by lifting the lower cover of the trunk. By doing this, you will access the car's battery and can proceed to remove the positive and negative terminals by simply unscrewing the bolts that secure them to the battery. After that, unscrew and remove the bolts that hold the battery mounting bracket. Once you complete this step, you can remove the bracket and free the battery. At this point, just remove the old battery and insert the new one.
