Hello I have the 2011 535i is this the same exact process?

@@seatime674 yes i believe so cuz it will still be F10 as well, maybe minor variations but generally it will be located in the same place

@@burnablesnippets5431 Does the battery definitely have to be registered to the car afterwards or can I just put the battery in and go? Thank you

@@seatime674 personally, I put it and drove and 2 years in no issues, but many said in the comments its better to register the battery, so decision is urs.

@@burnablesnippets5431 okay cool I guess it registers it to the alternator the way it charges the battery or something to do with that I probably won't register it though

bryanalldaylong very glad to help 👍🏼😊😊

Pat Shozo thanks a lot! Glad you find it helpful :) Let me know if you need any questions.

Good & Thanks !

Thanks Matthew 👍🏼👍🏼

So true mathew, and also a booster needs to be connected to the battery connection pins under the bonnet. Failure to do so might corrupt some of the ecu modules especially the FRM.

This must have been n63 engine since he was using 105ah

@@mikimiki195 No, it is a 535i as the poster stated in the video.

Thanks 😊😊

Most welcome, thanks for watching 😊

Did you register or code the new battery? If not, are you experiencing any issues? I have a 2011 535i xDrive also and I need to replace the battery. Thinking about doing it myself. Mechanic quoted me $500+ for replacement and registering.

@@napoleonelbert124 I did not. I tried to buy the exact battery as far as the cold cranking amps etc. It took me about 1 - 1/2 hours to change it out. I just drove it about 10 miles each way with several stops and did not notice any issues or any dash lights or messages etc. It definitely turns over way faster with less effort and was long over due. I have a dealer that is the local distributor of batteries in my area and they always have batteries that are either out of date or were returned for some reason. They test them all and sell them at giveaway prices. They tested mine before I bought it and it was fully charged and no issues. Lets just say that I paid less than $100 for the battery....so all good. A bit of advice is that the rear plastic cover needs to be removed to get the piece out behind where the battery sits and it is held in by those plastic screws basically and when you pull them out you will break them. You can get new ones at Home Depot for next to nothing. There are 4 of them. Good luck.

Same here, didn’t register m, no problems for 2 yrs

@@burnablesnippets5431 So far so good!!!!

@@burnablesnippets5431 Thanks again for the video!!!

Thanks!

Most welcome😊

Hi Jones Man Glad you liked it ☺️ I didn’t have a problem with my car alarm though, but thanks for the tip bro👍🏼

Gary McCready thanks a lot for your comment. Actually my car just needed the date updated and thats it. Didn’t need to add power source to the terminal. Had my saved seat adjustment and everything.

Never heard of that. Can you give some examples of that so I can look into buying one? I need to replace my battery on my F10. 😞

BMW ista KDcan + laptop easy , make sure you take photos of the battery before you put it in

​@@Leshad-eu6ojwhy take a photo of the battery before you put it in?

@@rysky007so if the program asks how many amp hours (AH) or cold cranking amps (CCA) the new battery is. Or whatever info. New battery should be the same battery specifications however anyways but i believe can be slightly different as well

@@jacklabrier8039 after the install it did ask me two questions in the Idrive I believe, its been a few months now.

Thats right, you can easily register the battery via an OBD device and compatible software, I actually have just changed that battery I put 5 years ago in this video, and I registered it with a veepak device, will make a video about it soon.

Thanks a lot glad it helped u, actually It was absolutely fine for me to change without a battery pack, but I would assume if u have it readily available it would be good to use, but otherwise I can confirm from my experience I had no issues.

Willy Billy for my car I didn’t need to register it since I have purchased exactly similar battery. I have seen a couple of videos on registering batteries but It worked for me without registration.

Thanks Hector, to be honest I plugged and played, in the comments many mentioned its better to register the new battery as for the computer to consider that as it operates, but I didn’t face any problem and still have the battery to date and its working fine. If you wanna be on the safe side, maybe register it, shouldn’t be costly

@@burnablesnippets5431 Thank you for the quick response! And awesome i’ll probably end up doing the same in that case. Thanks again my friend🙏🏼

@@burnablesnippets5431 I did it today same as your instructions. Still i got " increased battery discharge... massage in the screen. Is that normal ??

@@QAISADEEB hi Qais, I would say if you hd that error before the change, you have to reset it and then see if it pops again, it wouldn’t go away on its own just cuz u changed the battery. For how to reset the code, either try an OBD device like Carsly or go to a mechanic to just do the reset.

@@burnablesnippets5431 thank you for replying dear. I was in the car without turn the engine on and was listening to music Suddenly i got a massage with increasing discharge ... I got scared and turned everything off and lock the car After that I jump charge it and it worked I drove for 30 minutes and the massage disappeared. The nest day I noticed that its very weak and turning the engine on was not easy " took some time " and the massage appeared again. Anyhow I changed the battery today the massage is still active. Sorry for writing too much I'm just wondering!! Some of the mechanics just need money. Thanks again DEAR

Rash Rash thanks, it’s located in the same place like I showed in the video, under the boot floor or sometimes in the right wall of the boot.

Thank you for your reply!

Tony Cole Hey thanks for the comment unfortunately I’m not in the US so I don’t have experience where you can get the battery, I hope someone sees your comment and help

Bitch y I didn't unplugged da yellow an black wire on da side

i think you can get it on the fcpeuro .which i did ita call group49 h8 950cca battery .brands will be odyssey .

Yes better as per many comments below, I didn’t register mine and its working fine but if u can register it it’s definitely better

Hi @AlRfree , thanks for stopping by and for your comment. In fact there is one ventilation hose only which is the one on the left, maybe its a variation from a different model. But for my F10 I am certain its only 1

@@burnablesnippets5431 Hi again, mate! You haven’t understood… It’s the battery who have 2 ventilation hose, not the car. The battery have one on the left , which you used it, and one on the right , which need to be closed in order to prevent from accumulation of gases. Look between 8:15 - 8:25

​@@AIRfree There are 2 vents one on each side. Plugg that one on the negativ side. u are right

@@AIRfreehow do you close it??

Its usually fine, I didnt use one and it was ok

With me it ran normally

@@burnablesnippets5431 tq sir for your info...

Thanks for your comment. I didnt reset anything no, but someone in the comments suggested its better to register the new battery in the car computer, claiming car manage power according to battery age. So its your call

닥신님ㅋㅋㅋ 덕분에 528i 개꿀매물 잘 타고있습니다 대구에서요 오시면 연락주세요

Hi, thanks for your comment. I believe I added a reminder when dismantling the original one and when putting the new one to make sure to connect the venting tube on the left side, I am not sure which vent you referring to on the right side because there was nothing but the bracket to fix the battery. Can you clarify thank you

Maybe it’s intermodal variation would be happy to hear from you

Thanks for the great content again. There is often a port on the other end of the battery. It doesn't look like anything special and super easy to miss. The manual for the battery will normally point out the port and if there's plug somewhere you can use included with the new battery.

Hi Matius, my car doesn’t have auxiliary battery, however if ur car comes with one, Its usually is next to the main one, or on the right side of the trunk behind a cover, along with the fuses. Hope this helps, let me know plz

With the fuses on the side of the trunk : photo images.app.goo.gl/Sm857FT4CbyUXVHZ6

Next to the main battery, under the trunk floor (photo): images.app.goo.gl/Agju9yfFNPNhqYo39

Yes still working despite covid year where car use were minimal, but I believe its time to change it by and of year, don’t wan to wait till it dies

It wont be much smaller than the 535i if not the same, you can check your car on this website to double check whatbattery.co.uk/bmw-5-series-f10-2010-2017-batteries/ Hope this helps 😊

Hello. Just a little tip , try the test of current consumption while in Sleep Mode. All the latches of the doors, trunk need to be closed, computers need to go to sleep mode. After that you hook an amp clamp on the power cable, try each of them individually. And then under the glove box pull pull out fuses in order and you will find your parasitic draw when the mAmp will drop close to 0. Good luck

@@rolexcrd8622 thanks for taking the time to type up a way to solve the problem I've been having!! :-)

Gio hey man Im sorry you are getting a code, It might be the battery change yes, I looked up on bimmerfest and found similar complaints. Someone gave the below advice to the guy having the problem: “Doug Huffman Nuclear engineer Join: Apr 2015 Posts: 10422 Washington Island, Wisconsin, thru Death's Door Mar 04, 2018 · #3 After reconnecting the vehicle battery, carry out the following procedure for setting the steering angle: Start engine. Turn steering wheel left to full lock. Turn steering wheel right to full lock. Turn steering wheel to central position. Turn off engine. Turn on ignition (terminal 15), AFS telltale and Check Control message go out. The DTC error will not clear and must be reset.” They guy tried it and he said it worked for him, hope this helps.

@green461 sorry I missed that part, but its quiet easy given u have the right tool, you need a prying tool to pull them out without using sharp screw driver that can scratch ur plastic, or a anything that can damage those plastic pins. Once u pry all of them out u can remove the plastic panel (the one where the hook for the lock is coming through), and the storage tray will then be free and u can remove it. Hope this helps, let me know if u have questions

Hello, its pretty straight forward, let me know if u face any issues

With a diagnosis tester

@@leoduursma547 with what?

@@mrdustie3997 “Diagnosis” tester usually called a diagnostic code reader (aka scan tool) which can read diagnostic trouble codes. I don’t think a basic model will accomplish registering your new battery. I believe a bi-directional scan tool is needed at the very least. However, don’t take what I type here as gospel as I am currently researching a battery change for my 2011 550 X-drive. It has the original battery and still starts the car in very cold weather on my first attempt. At this point in time the “charge battery” warning is always present. It is my understanding that even though the new battery is an exact replacement it needs to be registered. The computer needs to know the age of the battery and will adjust its charging strategy accordingly. I will take an educated guess that perhaps an unregistered battery will be overcharging without the driver knowing it. In my case the computer would think that the battery is 10 years old instead of new. The parts guy at my local BMW dealership told me I could have one of three different batteries in my car. I had to remove the trunk flooring and take a look myself. I returned to the dealership with a photo of my battery and was told a new battery would cost $298 plus tax. Installation charge would be $198 (hourly rate is $165). Update: I have a friend who works at a dealership (not BMW) and he purchased an exact replacement battery for me for $197 (it was manufactured by Varta with a BMW marking). Next he connected me with the lead mechanic at his shop who did the changeout for $100 at his home. He said it was not absolutely necessary to hook up a memory saver before disconnecting the old battery on my vehicle. However, the 8 emission monitors might become incomplete and I would fail an emissions test if I drove to a nearby testing station immediately after the battery swap. By the time I drove home (17 miles) only 3 monitors were incomplete. After 40 miles all but the fuel system monitor were complete. A few more miles of driving and the fuel system monitor should be ready. The only other issue with not using a memory saver was that the car clock had to be reset. He was able to “register” my new battery with a BMW code reader and this procedure must be done. (He said he thought a warning would appear on my car’s display indicating that it was not registered). Also, the alternator would overcharge the new battery if not registered. This has been quite a learning experience for me and I’m glad I did the research. Due to the connections I have with good friends in the business I was able to save around $200 compared to the price quoted by the BMW dealership. I am left with only one more thought: I could have easily changed the battery myself and I wonder if I could have then driven to the mechanic’s home. His only task would be the registration. It took him less than 15 minutes to change the battery and actually more time to register it.

Im sure it wasnt the battery change, probably u need a new car anyway bro 😜 many people followed through and things went well, Are u sure u know what ure doing with ur car? Go to a mechanic if not.
