How can I find a 2011 BMW X5’s battery location?

Help! Am I going crazy? I just picked up an SUV at auction for a great price, knowing that it needed a new battery. So, I bought a new one, popped the hood, and—I can’t find the old battery! How can I find a 2011 BMW X5’s battery location?

battery location is in the **trunk area. Pull up on the latch in the back cargo area, which will expose a removable storage tray. You’ll need to unscrew the bolts holding the tray in place with a Phillip’s head screwdriver.
Straightforward tasks like replacing a battery can quickly become a puzzle when you’re working on an SUV you just bought and know little about. Shopping for affordable

can be equally as puzzling. Most insurance companies require you to fill out long forms, and many insist on a sales agent calling before they’ll give a basic quote. That’s the reason so many of us just give up on comparison shopping for insurance.
