A 2009 BMW X5’s battery location is in the trunk, beneath the spare tire. If you’re looking to do some work on it, you will need to remove the spare tire first.
But, let’s backtrack a little. Here are some step-by-step instructions on how to access the battery:
Open the trunk
Lift up on the handle on the floor of your trunk to open the spare compartment well
Remove spare tire
This isn’t to deliberately make your at-home repair projects harder. In fact, the 2009 BMW battery location is designed for weight distribution more than it is for ease of access.
