I've now had my 550i for 2 weeks. In my 2 E39s and my 650i, the battery was easy to spot in the trunk. It must be hidden under some panel in the 550i. But I dug around and couldn't find it. Where the heck is it?

In the trunk on the right side, behind the panel. You have to pull the plugs on the right and the panel will come out. That's where it is.

Ah! Thats where it was on the E39 540i but there was a drop down panel for easy access. I think it even had vent holes.

NOT. The manual states "For battery issues, see your dealer".
