@@I2obbie12 2007 328i has to be released from inside of the trunk and then, I still have to loosen two bolts underneath the back of the seat, in the center (where the seat belts plug in to the harness)… So, I guess it just depends on which model you have… It would be so much nicer if my seats were like my VW Jettas… Just pull the latch on top of the back seat and they fold down no problem. If I’m not mistaken, I think there is a kit (or, a homemade DIY method) to add this feature into the car… But, honestly it shouldn’t have just came that way from factory. It’s terrible design flaw and a HUGE inconvenience in my opinion.

Huh? It does manage the battery. I have a 2007 and the registering of the battery is for the sole purpose to “reset” the management of the alternator charging cycle. As it ages, it starts charging aggressively. When you get a new battery you will get better mileage as the alternator isn’t charging as aggressive. If you don’t register it, it will charge it like an old battery.

@chrisrobles2012 Жыл бұрын
@@ucanoe , dude seriously? That is what the programming of the battery does. Do not confuse it with registering it. Programming the battery is to decide if it is AGM or lead acid, and the smart part is the alternator knows to either charge all the time or only during deceleration. The registering allows the battery to get its longest life by using what is most important to the type of battery. It’s okay to be ignorant about a subject but at least take someone’s knowledge and accept it.
