Depends ... replacing the battery is actually pretty straight forward. BUT ... and it's a BIG BUT ... there are other things that are debated - after you remove the old and install the new ... Like "registering the battery"!

Call a BMW service manager in a city 1000 miles away. Ask him/her. He/she (without any vested interest) will give you the real low-down. "There is no such thing as registering the battery." (Hint: ever notice that BMW body shops do not charge to register a battery??? They disconnect batteries all the time.)
