How to replace the battery in your BMW 5 Series key

Model: BMW Serie 5 E61, E60 - Years 2003-2010
Part: Key

Let's see the main steps that will allow us to disassemble and replace the battery of the BMW 5 Series key remote control. First of all, we take our key in hand and start to pry, with something thin and pointed, on the side of the key shell, so that we open our remote control; in this way we access the electronic board and the battery, as shown in the video. At this point we remove the battery and replace it with the new one, of the right type; we just have to close the two shells of the remote perfectly, applying the reverse procedure!

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
