Hey, I haven't recieved my car yet, but are there two batteries in our car. I know there is one in the trunk, does it power the entire car?? Just wondering for sound sytem upgrades, I want to replace the battery with a yellow top. thanks.

Just one. I haven't checked but if I were to take a guess I would say the stock BMW battery has more CCA than a single yellow top. I know going all the way back to my E34, the 5's have always had huge batteries.

Why would you like to replace the BMW battery?

The one in the trunk gives enough juice even in -30 temperatures.

Be also careful with your audio updates.
Only an expert can understad the electrical CAN routing in a E60.
