Great topic, donv.

P.S. It really is important to know how to find the battery--as you say--I think both seriously and jokingly.

[/quote]DOn't know which battery u have in E60 but mine is a monster. Looks like the largest battery I have ever seen in a car. I have a similar sized (1100 CCA) in a GM product and was told it was the largest ever produced for a domestic car. I'm sure I am also paying a weight penalty.

[/quote]Thanks cobradav. Maybe I'll weight it, but I'd bet it is a good one.

[/quote]Finding the battery, although important to many, is not necessarily something most E60 owners will need to do.
Remember that there are battery terminals under the hood that you should use for jump-starting the car (or other cars).
Also, use caution around the battery since there is an explosive charge on the wire for the positive terminal that's used in an accident to disconnect things to help prevent a fire...

[/quote]I knew about the terminals; the manual at least told me that. But, thanks much for your information, in general, and warning.

From the US dealer training materials for E60:
Hopefully that will be something that shows up with the facelift that we can all retrofit onto older E60s.
