ALWAYS remove the negative post first and keep it insulated by wrapping a rag around it and then remove the positive terminal. When reattaching to the new battery install the positive first then the negative. If the positive terminal is removed first you may damage your computer or modules which could cost thousands.

It ended up epic saga. My car is 2012 328i and once I opened the compartment, it was a little different than yours. Luckily there was mobile car mechanic next of my car and was working on other guy's car and two guys helped me to change the batter. I am glad it was done. You gave me important ideas how to change it though.

The computer charges the battery differently based on how old it thinks the battery is. You must hook up a scan tool that can reset the battery life, so it knows it has a brand new battery and won't over charge it

Thank you for this info what are those two ends you mentioned and what are they for I can't see these 2 on my Autozone battery - they installed the battery 1.9 years ago and now are exchanging them with a new one. I don't know any go this so the store clerk that time offered to install it for me. The clerk left the company so I got a new battery as Warranty exchanged and I don't see the white exhaust and the other one you mentioned from the original BMW battery. Will I look for those? can I buy them from auto zone. what are they called. Will I mess the car if I don't have those two on the battery? Please explain. thanks

If u have the right battery, u wont be missing anything. As far as explaining what your asking, i am a lil unclear on what ur asking tbh. Sorry I am not of further help. They should exchange ur battery for the exact one u have installed.
