Now I know what my mechanic was talking about; registering the battery. He wants $400 for a battery change on my 5 series. Now I see why. Thanks for making this video available. It helps a lot.

[@Zerpersande]

Disagree. You’re like my naggy wife. She’ll exaggerate her point thinking to win an argument when all she does is make her statement untrue. Engineers should care more about owner repairs but it is not a priority for BMW. There was wasted space behind the firewall. And freeing up space in the front allows for more flexibility in design. Pretty car. And for BMW management, it prevents discourages user repairs. No, they would prefer you not do your own repairs. And types like you and me need more discouragement than just needing some Torx sockets.

[@Zerpersande]

Oh, I wrote the above without watching the video. You MUST be joking!! I was thinking I was going to see something like the battery placement in a 2018 218d Active Tourer. About $300 labor to change the battery. Looks like you have to remove with wiper arms along with most of the firewall trim to get the battery out. Jesus, you are a whiner. In the trunk behind a panel is complex?

[@Amarax1]

Great DIY, I always wanted to know how to do this for the day my battery dies!

[@dannynguyen9382]

No wonder bmw wants every bmw owner to bring their car up to them for any maintenance. They purposely make everything super difficult, even removing the battery is a chore.

Lol good point

[@DenisePhipps]

What size battery

[@laferrari5081]

Nice DIY, I checked the battery, works perfect, voltage is about 12, as it should be, but still the cars show me low battery charging, can it still be the battery fault? Should i buy a new one?

[@maxnix346]

I got diode faults also from the AutoZone analyzer but the battery was only at 60% charge. It needs to be at 100% for them to test it. If the battery will not charge to an indicated 100% then a new battery is required. My capacity was severely diminished to the point where it would only hold about a 20%-40% charge over night. If you do charge it, be sure the charger has an AGM cycle. I slow charged at a 2A draw.

[@phillysownalim5394]

Is this method the same for a 2011 F10 5 series, Specifically a 550i XDrive ?

[@southerngearzcooking8936]

[@shauncrist8567]

Does anyone here know if improperly changing the battery could cause the trunk to lock shut? Is it possible that this could be the reason why my JBE module failed?

You had a random small wire that was on the red power block cable. It wasn’t plugged in, does that do anything?

[@SKWDMDYT]

Had the original battery for 7 1/2 years in 2006 325i. Replaced with an identical battery and never registered it. My driving habits changed from 6K/year to 4k/year..short trips. My new(3 1/2 year old battery) started to die. Used a CTEK battery tender from time to time, and when I make a 2 mile trip to post office, I let the car idle. Suprisingly for my now 5 year old battery, this cold winter in NY has been a non-event. No dead battery. So maybe registering would have helped, but what if I reconditioned the battery with a CTEK, should I re-register the battery to do it properly?

[@derekmaldonado3300]

Is your battery still alive? I am very curious as I did not know about registering it. I did the exact same thing just replaced with the same one. Should I register it as the car seems to be charging it normally

[@SKWDMDYT]

@@derekmaldonado3300 Old comment. I have a foxwell scan tool to register my battery if I chose, but I believe I am on my 4th original BMW battery and never registered the battery and never had an issue. The DME does not know that the battery was changed. Some would say that the battery should be registered so the battery monitoring system knows that the charging profile has changed, but again I never had an issue.

[@orlandoguevara4902]

I own a 2006 325i but my car is not starting at all, no power no crank completely dead. I installed the battery properly but I think I might have messed up for not replacing my battery before it completely died? Dose anyone know how I can get my car going? I already tried jumping it as well but nothing and the new battery is new.

[@pinoysi06]

When registering the new battery through the bt tool. Does it compensate for a higher cranking, amp etc. if it’s not the same battery type? I have Carly’s app and the bt tool. I noticed both have different process for registration of a new battery.

[@BMWFanatic]

Pinoy Boy Nope, you would have to code the car to have those values updated - so INPA

This was a direct swap for specs, so nothing different needed

[@clifft7832]

You are on to something. A new battery for my 135i was $120 at Sam's Club. Who cares if the registration makes the battery last 4 years rather than 3.75? I'll buy another one when it's time, without the extortion from the dealer.

[@kent6732]

[@redzone5655]

Many questions after this video: you can do the registration with INPA, ISTA or NCS Expert and a generic OBD. Besides, you dont say how much time you must have the car turned on the first time so that the ECU measures correctly the SoH (state of health) of the battery. You dont cover as well whether to charge the new battery before installing it. It can be as low as 60%.

What will happen if not registered the battery

[@Bruce_T]

Depends on what type of battery you get. Most cases, not much will happen, but if you had a smaller battery prior to installing the new one, the alternator will charge the new battery at the same rate it was charging the old one. Better to register the battery to improve it's overall battery life.

[@DavidV328]

After almost 9,5 years of operation, I had to change my battery of my 135i last saturday. In an E82 this is actually a lot easier and more accessible than an E90. Everything is in reach in the middle of the trunk. What I missed in your video is that you need to plug the other side of the vent opening on the battery when installing. Either take the plug from your old battery, or use the plug provided with the new battery to plug the vent hole that is not in use. There is one on either side of a battery. You plug the grey hose in the + side vent hole (9:00), bot say nothing about plugging the other hole. If you don't plug it, it could lead to venting unwanted gasses into the trunk. And registering the battery with MHD, as long as it is the same spec, is ridiculously simple and quick.

The fact that the battery needs even programming is a pain in the butt and it's quite costly (at least in Poland)
