Where is the battery located in a 2016 BMW X5?
The battery in my 2016 BMW X5 died, and when I went to jumpstart it I found a couple of terminals, but nothing that looked like the actual battery. I got my vehicle started again, but now I’m curious. Where is the actual battery located?

The battery in a 2016 BMW X5 is actually located in the trunk underneath the cargo area carpet. Just lift the carpet up and it should reveal the battery compartment.
The terminals you found are specifically for jumpstarting the vehicle easily—having to dig in the trunk to jump your vehicle is just an extra hassle!
