How to replace the battery of the BMW 3 Series

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Battery

Replacing the battery of the BMW 3 Series model e46 is an operation that can be carried out independently. To replace the battery of the 3 Series, we need to open the trunk and then remove the carpet cover. Next, we remove the bracket, using a 13mm combination wrench, and then proceed to remove the battery. We disconnect the negative terminal first using a 10mm wrench, and then the positive terminal. To disconnect the positive terminal, we must first lift the red cover and then use a 10mm wrench to remove it. We then remove the battery from its housing and insert a new one, reconnecting the positive terminal first and then the negative one. Finally, we reassemble the bracket and the outer cover.

To remove the front bumper of the Citroën C4 Picasso, you need to take out all the rivets and screws that secure the piece to its housing: these screws are located inside the wheel arches of the front wheels and at the central upper part of the bumper itself. Once all these fastening elements have been removed, you can detach the bumper from its seat by disconnecting the connectors inside and then insert the new replacement part.
