Battery care
The battery is 100 % maintenance-free, i.e.,

glad to advise in all matters concerning the
battery.
Charging battery

the terminals in the engine compartment
with the engine off. Connections, refer to

Have old batteries disposed of by
your BMW center or hand them in to a
recycling center. Maintain the battery in an
upright position for transport and storage.
Always restrain the battery to prevent it
from tipping over during transport.
