Can't find the battery on my 2008 E61 ? On my E91 it is in the trunk on the right side.

Can someone tell me how to locate the batter on teh E91 and how to remove any covers etc.

thanks.

I'll probably get banned for saying this, but the User Manual is actually quite helpful for these kind of things! E.g. locating battery, resetting items such as Active Steering after putting the battery back on, etc.

Before you get banned, can you please tell which page of the E60/61 manual you can find that info at?

I don't think it's in the manual which is why my .pdf should help you figure things out...
