How can I remove my BMW battery?
I’ve been needing a new battery for a while now, and I finally found a friend who will install one for me for free. The only thing is they want me to remove the old battery beforehand. How do you take out a BMW battery?

car maintenance
can sometimes be a hassle that is better left to more experienced hands. However, taking the battery out of a vehicle is actually pretty easy!To remove a BMW battery, just follow these steps:
- Turn your vehicle off completely and remove the key from the ignition.
- Locate your battery. It should be below the upholstery at the bottom of your trunk.
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal with a 10-mm socket wrench and set it aside. Be sure to keep it away from any metal or other cables.
- Disconnect the positive terminal and place it aside.
- Lift the old battery out of its housing.
Now that you have successfully removed your battery, your mechanic friend can do the battery replacement for you. While you wait, take a minute and sign up on the
