The battery in the BMW X3 is not located under the hood as you might expect, but in the rear of the vehicle. Specifically, it is found in a compartment beneath the trunk floor.

To replace it, open the trunk and remove the panel that serves as the trunk floor. Now that the battery is visible, disconnect the terminals.

To avoid short circuits, always start with the negative terminal and only then disconnect the positive terminal. Remove the old battery and place the new one, then connect the terminals starting with the positive this time.
