I did not beleive you at first, but I checked and sure enough it does not tell where the battery is located in the 2002 330ci owners manual! Unbelievable... It should be in the trunk, on the passenger side under a removeable plastic tray.

It seems odd that they would remove this information - my 2001 manual has nice clear diagrams and text on p.168.

Also note that there is an explosive charge connected to the positive terminal (I think), which is supposed to disconnect the battery from the engine (but not the lights, IIRC) in some crashes (when the airbags deploy?). From what I've read, the charge is supposed to be "contained" and appears "small", but I'd be very careful nonetheless. Hard to believe, but it's in the Bentley manual.

I don't think they changed it from my 1996 328ic - the battery is in a tray in the trunk, on the passenger side (US vehicle). Have to lift up the trunk liner on the right side. Supposedly, it was placed there for better weight distribution (and maybe because there wasn't anywhere under the hood large enough for it). In other words, it is further to the right (if you are standing behind the vehicle with the trunk open) than the spare tire. Jim It's in the Owner's Manual. Lift the carpet to expose the spare, and you will be able to see the battery from there. > Thank you for the info. it's not in the Owner's Manual I have with this > car, maybe you know were in the trunk, I still can't find it.

Yeah, I saw that after I posted. It's in MY Owner's Manual, but my car is different.

Or under the rear seat. There's a spare in the torch in the glovebox - it is kept fully charged. Signaturejeremy
