ok, my wife and I have had our 2002 325 for 2 years now.
I've never needed to find the battery, but I want to locate it now.
I've searched the WHOLE freeking car and I can't find it.
Does anybody out there know where the battery is located on a
2002 BMW 325 AWD.

I swear I can't find the damn thing.. sounds silly but it's driving me freeking nuts!


PLEASE HELP!

Thanks for any input!

im not sure if its the same, but i had a 93 audi and it was located under the back seat.....i dont know if all german cars are the same or if they even do it like that anymore, but its possible

 

better yet check the owners manual

 

try owners manuel?

iv seen some batterys that were hidden in the wheel well and you needed to take the tire off to get it out

 

check under the trunk floor thats were it is in the z4

 

looked through the whole manual.. nothing.. ended up calling bmw..

thanks guys..

so where was it?

 

It's in the trunk on the right hand side

 

Ended up being behind the rear passenger wheel down in the bumber.
I mean.. WTF... nice spot...

WAAA thats crazy! people should start considering smuggling in BMWs! lol im crazy...

 

It's for weight distribution my friend. BMW's are some of the most highly researched and designed cars...there is a reason it's back there. Unlike the original Dodge Stratus, Chrysler Cirrus, or Plymouth Breeze where the battery was IN the fenderwell infront of the tire...they just didn't have room on those cars! LOL

 

Crazy place but hey, I relocated my battery to the trunk so call me crazy too.

 

oh, don't get me wrong, we love this car.. it's awesome on road trips.. get killer mileage too...
our trip comp read 30.7mpg.. not to bad for a inline 6 AWD...

I'm gonna love my new EVO even more..
