The battery is in the trunk on the passenger side. It may make the back end sag just a tad bit more, but not much.

i think this was discussed and the reason why is because BMW accounted for the driver sitting in the front seat. I am not sure but I do know that rudy will chime in soon...

It's true that this has been discussed before and I think the consensus was that it's normal and if a person were in the driver's seat, the car would be more level...
