How to Change BMW Battery?

Once you are sure you need to replace your battery you can either pay someone else to do it for you, or do it yourself.

If you decide to save money on labor, first thing you need to do is get the right battery. It's easy, just ask the parts seller to look up the correct application. Make sure you are getting the same amp battery as listed for your car.

Exchange procedure is quite simple and takes about ten minutes. You will need a crescent wrench and a screwdriver.
Begin with loosening the casble clamps attached to the battery terminals. Remove the negative battery cable FIRST, and reconnect it LAST. Then unscrew the hold-down brace which keeps battery in place. Take out old battery and place a new one instead, reversing the whole procedure.

That's it! Your done!

Before closing the hood of your new battery, make sure all cables and terminal ends are clean and not cracked. This will assure positive connection.
