Where is the battery located in the BMW X3?

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

The battery of the BMW X3 and X4 has a unique feature: its location. We are used to seeing a vehicle's battery placed inside the engine compartment, near the fuse box or air intake, but in this case, it is not so, as the battery of the X3 and X4 is located inside the trunk. To access the battery if needed, open the rear hood, remove the trunk cover to access the first compartment, unscrew the two screws at the end, and remove the battery cover. This way, you will be able to work on it.
