bro where can I get that BMW scan tool u have in this video.
Sick link to the tool
Hello, are you still very active? This was impressing btw I watched a bunch of times overnight
For everyone here for coding skip to 14:12
You’re welcome
Now I know what my mechanic was talking about; registering the battery. He wants $400 for a battery change on my 5 series. Now I see why. Thanks for making this video available. It helps a lot.
Nice DIY! I replaced mine a few years ago. Batteries always choose the worst weather to die ❄️. It was about -5 the day I did mine
I replaced this one 4 years ago as it was technically my first DIY on this car, so happy that I was able to do it again and film it lol
115° when I did mine
BMW vehicles are nice as long as you take care of the car.
-35 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada and mine needs to be done.
I always replace my batteries after 4 years in the fall. Had to do that “when it’s f****** zero” one too many times. Just decided it would be on my terms after pulling a battery by sled two miles so I could go to work. Great video!
I love old cars, loosen 2 terminals and off it comes.
e46 was the last great bmw.
Absurd complexity for no purpose other than draining you of time and money.
Ganged out my battery car want start just spins help 2013 528i
Disagree. You’re like my naggy wife. She’ll exaggerate her point thinking to win an argument when all she does is make her statement untrue.
Engineers should care more about owner repairs but it is not a priority for BMW. There was wasted space behind the firewall. And freeing up space in the front allows for more flexibility in design. Pretty car.
And for BMW management, it prevents discourages user repairs. No, they would prefer you not do your own repairs. And types like you and me need more discouragement than just needing some Torx sockets.
Oh, I wrote the above without watching the video. You MUST be joking!! I was thinking I was going to see something like the battery placement in a 2018 218d Active Tourer. About $300 labor to change the battery. Looks like you have to remove with wiper arms along with most of the firewall trim to get the battery out. Jesus, you are a whiner. In the trunk behind a panel is complex?
Hey Lee.. You didn't provide a link for the most important product... The code reader you used. Please provide a link for that.. Thanks
Yuppp
No wonder bmw wants every bmw owner to bring their car up to them for any maintenance. They purposely make everything super difficult, even removing the battery is a chore.
B.M.W. aka "Basic Mechanics can never Work on them" lol 😉
Seems no more difficult than any other trunk mounted battery. You should see the starter on a V8 model haha
My car is FUCKED right now because of the battery being taken out with no memory. My signal lights don’t work, nothing on the control module for that matter, my front windows are stuck rolled down and now have to take it into the shop for a factory restart. Will cost me $300...
@@AQSWDEFRTHYJUKILO hi what memory are u talking about..how do you avoid what happened to u?? u mean your LCM foot module burnt out?
This is not hard.
Good god even the battery replacement is a pain lol. But I love the machine so much.
What is love?
Perfect! As usual and perfect timing I was getting the battery discharge high for about a week. Bit the bullet and took my led acid out and replaced with an agm. Thanks BMWFINATIC
if you connect a spare 12v battery to the terminals in the engine bay you don't lose any of your settings when replacing/disconnecting the old battery.
that sounds smart, however he said to do a "register" so it doesn't think you are running on a 4 year old battery, so maybe that's why he did the reset. IDK, maybe someone who does know can chime in...
The tie down bracket is a piece of work. I don't know how you got in screwed in so easily, everything else was a piece of cake.
Great video. Really makes me want to .... Bring it to the dealer for battery replacement. 😉
There's this reassuring feeling that comes with a properly done DIY
The following comment was made to me by a BMW mechanic at the dealership when I was purchasing my battery: “No need to waste money registering the battery if it’s an exact replacement“. That was over 4 years ago and my electrical system is just fine.
I dunno, I was told yesterday by a neighbor they paid $700 for a freaking battery. I have a 2006 M3, 2019 GLS550, 2011 E63 and 2020 E63S...cant say I have EVER had to "program a battery". Seems like a cash grab to me.
Thank you very much! I was really needing it, replaced my 335i battery and did not registered it, it is already failing, only lasted two months
It would take me a few more hours just trying to find my 10mm socket in garage.
LOL that's classic! that's all I got in my tool box . well that and a torch without batteries ! LOL this guy was prepared, he even had the correct ear muffs :) I'd be frozen solid sticking out of my boot with a 10mm socket wrench stuck to my hand after 5 hours trying to do this DIY job.
Go to the shop buy 10mm socket take 10-20 minutes save your time
There is no way I would go through what you went through to change my BMW's battery. Well worth the price to have someone else do it who knows what they are doing.
It didnt seem that bad but i get where you are coming from.
After almost 9,5 years of operation, I had to change my battery of my 135i last saturday. In an E82 this is actually a lot easier and more accessible than an E90. Everything is in reach in the middle of the trunk. What I missed in your video is that you need to plug the other side of the vent opening on the battery when installing. Either take the plug from your old battery, or use the plug provided with the new battery to plug the vent hole that is not in use. There is one on either side of a battery. You plug the grey hose in the + side vent hole (9:00), bot say nothing about plugging the other hole. If you don't plug it, it could lead to venting unwanted gasses into the trunk. And registering the battery with MHD, as long as it is the same spec, is ridiculously simple and quick.
The battery weighs half a ton! I remember when i've changed it on my 330xd! Ps: nice sound!!
Great DIY, I always wanted to know how to do this for the day my battery dies!
Replaced the battery in my e60 535i about 6 years ago never registered it. Never had any issues.
seriously?
@@jorgesalamanca3537 yes
Thats good news i wont registet my then who cares i got the cheapest varta battery..
@@timcheou5649 I bought a good battery with the same specs as the old one. If you buy a cheap one that doesn't have the same specs you might have some problems. I just replaced a battery again not too long ago, also didn't registered it. First one lasted for 6 years and was still good when i retired it.
@@timcheou5649 I would be careful becuz of vanos system
Keep up your awesome videos man ur the best!
Andrew BMW 7511 thanks man!
Another shining example of German over-engineering.
They make things more.complicated
it makes so complicated
it’s not for no reason it’s for efficiency just because it makes your life harder don’t blame them for trying to make a better car
@@maceats4653 and just how does making it necessary to inform the vehicle's computer that the battery has been changed make it more "efficient"? I'm all for good technology making improvements to life, but German over-engineering rarely makes anything easier or efficient enough to justify the pains of ownership.
@@travissmith2211 agm vs non agm? if you put a non agm in a car coded with agm good luck lmaooo it will not last as long as it should
You made it look easy given that it is so cold. Great job dude.
Yeah it was 0 degrees outside lol
@@BMWFanatic Yea, and I only counted 7 re-takes......
Many questions after this video: you can do the registration with INPA, ISTA or NCS Expert and a generic OBD. Besides, you dont say how much time you must have the car turned on the first time so that the ECU measures correctly the SoH (state of health) of the battery. You dont cover as well whether to charge the new battery before installing it. It can be as low as 60%.
Brrrrrr!!!!!! Thanks for filming & posting in what looks to be sub-freeking-zero weather.
My OEM battery was $154.00 DIY priceless... thanks again! Just don’t drop the little 10mm screw at the end of the install! Yes I did! ...
Ahh man the 10mm!
Discovered this and watched it this morning in the hope it could help me do mine... my stop start was hit and miss and getting worse over past 2 weeks...seemed flat when ignition kicked in, sometimes failed..Local garage said it needs to be registered which is that scan tool i assume and is prob worth investing in. Great video just need to try and find one in uk.
Which scan tool did you use? Please provide the actual link if possible, thanks!
Just like my car! Thank You!!! My battery is almost ready for a change. Soon is going to take a hike!!!
watched your vid 3x and swapped mine in 20min. thx
New to the BMW community. Disconnecting the old battery to replace it. Does that mess the the computer modules at all?
No, but installing a new battery will
Great video and thanks for sharing your Knowledge.In the statement you made at the top and your ran into a BMW
TECHNICIAN he made the following comments
" as long as the CCA and Amp hours are the same, the computer doesn't need to tell the alternator anything different."
Yet you still registered the battery.Why?
Using the Bavarian software how do you confirm the battery has been registered?
Can you please provide us with the link of the software to reset the battery. Thank you.
I also wanted to go with an OEM BMW battery on my 2010 BMW Z4 however I found that the Odyssey was a far better Battery than the OEM battery and my Ancel BM700 had no problem registering it.
07 E90 auction bought runs fantastic for 15% of the time sporadic charging issues transmission lights limp mode fine the next day I found a Bosch battery not BMW ran good a couple times sat for 5 months to the ice took the battery to test it and was blown out overcharged or Frozen could this have anything to do with the one time when I performed a battery reset while the jumper cables were hooked up and the electrics were on trying to start the car as they last this resort could I have fried my charging system not to worry I have a new alternator just wondering if the new battery will solve this issue and wanted to register it correctly this time without jumper cables?
I used Carly for BMW app on an Android phone. It's a little expensive, but overall cheaper than going to the dealer. It allows the user to monitor lots of parameters, check fault codes, reset them, code multiple functions, etc. It's not perfect, sometimes frustrating, but it works. Oh and you can do it wirelessly with a bluetooth adapter.
To reset the battery?
@@guy539 No. To let the ECU know there is a new battery.
For all the DIY videos you’ve posted do you normally remove the negative connection on the battery before performing engine work? Not sure if it’s needed to do spark plugs, injectors, etc. I’ve been religiously following your videos and you’ve given me the courage to start work on my n54 e90 but something I’ve been pondering, worrying about possible shock. Pretty sure I’m spooking myself here. Thanks and keep the vids coming!
Where do you buy the battery? Also what is the importance of resetting the battery with computer?
Hey man could u tell me why my 2011 bmw 335i xdrive would make a whinning noise when backing up a hill or driving forward up a hill its coming from the engine area thx
What a cluster eff..I'm sticking to my 99 lasabre
Why the blue wire have to be disconnected.
awesome video demo. It is straight forward with clear instructions. Can you advise please how you know when it is time to change car battery?
What happens if you don’t register the battery ?
Thank you so much for the information on the loose black connector!!!! I could not figure out where it goes!
This video helped so much thank you !
What if i want to add a second battery for auxillary items, do i need to code it too?
Looks very easy straight forward but what if I don’t have the scanning tool, what can I do ?
What’s the software call and connector to your computer?
My bmw 335i e92 battery died. I removed ,charged at local mechanics and now about to put back in,same battery.
Do you need that blue and black plugs removed from the plastic before you connect the positive? I removed my positive with all plugs still in the plastic bit.
Just wondering if its safe to connect everything regarding positive side all at once,and then the negative.
Thanks for sharing!!! I'm new here so I am really appreciated of Your work. Congratulations my friend!!!
I'm in the middle of replacing my batter and the red power wire with the black connector came out from where ever it was connected to the vehicle. Any idea where it goes?
WHERE DO YOU GET THE SOFTWARE FOR YOUR PC????
Well where do you get the software??
Great vlog man... thanks for Toughen out the cold... We get rain tomorrow yeah.
SEANJOHN 92663 yeah it’s warming up some here this week 😀
soooo what if you don’t get a bmw battery and have no where to put that little white hose on? is it still good like thag
Is there a link for that software?
Great video. Can the battery registration be done with ProTool?
In auto tech school, they said to install the ECU 9V memory retention device into the cigarette lighter.
Hello sir,
New subscriber here. I have a '08 650i convertible that was reading "high battery drain" for about 2 weeks and all of a sudden it was no longer appearing. Car was driving fine until 2 days ago(Tuesday night). I went on the bypass to go home and stopped at a light approximately 4-5 miles from home. While sitting at the light out of nowhere "transmission malfunction" message came on but the car was running fine. When the light changed I proceeded to drive and within a few seconds the car began to slow down, luckily enough for me to pull into a safe place(Walgreens parking lot) so I called for a tow. While waiting I looked online and read the Bimmer forum where it was said to turn the car off and try to restart it as turning it off would reset it. After about 20 minutes, the car restarted so I called the tow to cancel, but unfortunately while on the phone with them the car did the same thing again and again I was lucky enough to pull over safely. Towed it home and the next morning, it started right up. I turned it off to see if it would restart again and nothing. My question is this, if my battery is bad, could BMW have it to where placing the car in "limp mode" is a way of avoiding ruining the transmission???? Could it be that there is no problem with the transmission is itself but a safe way to keep from further damaging the car? When it comes to BMW or as I call them "Basic Mechanics can never Work on them" lol 😉)who knows lol. I would appreciate any help or advice you can give. I know I should take it to the dealership, but I've had so many foreign cars to know that if the car will actually start, then the problem can't be that bad...just costly lol. I thank you in advance.
I had my battery replaced by a non BMW mechanic and I think they messed up. My car won’t start after I kept getting warning messages and I compared the wiring to the one In this video. They didn’t plug in the last blue connector that he plugged in....can anyone tell me what that ones for and if that could’ve cause the problem
What will happen if not registered the battery
Depends on what type of battery you get.
Most cases, not much will happen, but if you had a smaller battery prior to installing the new one, the alternator will charge the new battery at the same rate it was charging the old one. Better to register the battery to improve it's overall battery life.
I was told by BMW once you replace the battery with the same battery by that I mean same amperage and spec you do not need to register it again. So other than the labor involved removing and reinstalling it it shouldn’t be too big a deal.
You must register the new battery even if it is has the exact same specs of the older one. If specs are different, you need not only to register it, you ll also have to code it.
@@TheEnzoferrari12345
Nonsense! The following comment was made to me by a BMW mechanic at the dealership when I was purchasing my battery: “No need to waste money registering the battery if it’s an exact replacement“. That was over 4 years ago and my electrical system is just fine.
@@jackf8417 It’s still wrong. Coding and registration are different. Registration should be done every time so the charging parameters are optimal. It will work if you don’t, but won’t be optimal and will shorten battery life.
@@beng3345 you can call it wrong all day long, but the fact is that my battery is now going on 5 years old and shows no signs of deteriorating. I’ll take 5 years any day for a BMW battery.
@@jackf8417 It's objectively wrong. Coding and registration are different. My registered BMW battery lasted 9 years, so you have a ways to go. I'm not saying it CAN'T happen, but your thinking is incorrect.
Great DIY , and with 0 degrees , nice 👍
Can you do it with obd11?
Could you please post a link to the authentic BMW scan tool you use with your lap top? I don't see it on your Amazon link. 🤙🏼
Thanks! This was super helpful, dude! Got it done with ease!
Good info!
Awesome. Thanks for this. Much appreciated. I have a new 2021 M630 I . Have a doubt. Can I register with Carly coder? Pls let me know.
Nice video but I do have a question, did you have to enter any information for the new battery?
Great videos! Glad I found this channel.
SCOTTY KILMER says this is STUPID. 4 hours just to replace a battery. GET a 94 celica instead.
Scotty Kilmer says you are Stupid to buy BMW …instead a 94 Celica
Can the battery registration be done with INPA?
That registering battery thing is for bmw geeks, I never did it on my e91and had no problems at all. Even with puting higher Ah battery (as I have diesel engine). Btw. never used bmw oem battery, just local store type. Imo its just the thing to grind ppl's money in services.
You are on to something. A new battery for my 135i was $120 at Sam's Club. Who cares if the registration makes the battery last 4 years rather than 3.75? I'll buy another one when it's time, without the extortion from the dealer.
Sick beat homie!! I just cleaned my tpm and Bluetooth module and moved it up out of the bottom wheel well.. and now I've left the battery disconnected for the last hour.. about to plug back in - I hope sos lights and sound work now.. either way, if not I'll be back asking questions lol
My lights are not working after changing the battery. Any clue?
Nice video! Thanks for posting. BTW @ 17:05 is why I'll never buy a car from Ohio again. Bought a 2 year old car with 14,000 miles and the rust on the bottom and throughout was UNBELIEVABLE...
Hi had to remove my battery had a drinks spill.reconnected the terminals but now I get air bag emblem and seat belt emblem and roof top emblem.120i convertable 2010 how do I remove emblems thanks Trev in sunny cape Town south africa
Where do you get the connector and the software ?
That’s my question too
why did you us a screw driver to remove the connections from the power distribution module? if you follow the cord to the base of the connection, there is a button you can push to easily pull the connector free
Excellent DIY, thanks!!!
good job
Did you have a link for how to get that resetting tool somewhere?
Have you found that tool since last time you commented?????
@@izza_movie_lyrical_tv9617 I decided to just let the mechanic do it.
Nice! Ohio BMW owner here. Just east of Columbus. Go Blue Jackets!
thank you for your helpful video. exhaust sounds good. engine valve lifter sounds a little loud. i think syn oil is too thin to seal lifters mechanism. i add some regular 10w/40 oil, after 2 weeks drive, no more lifter noise.
kevin fan It’s a little loud in these cold temps and since this was a cold start
@@BMWFanatic Cold start is definitely not at proper engine operating temperature.
Great video. Will the car run with a new battery that is not programmed to the car? Like an AGM aftermarket one from advance autoparts?
Thanks!
I plan to use a memory saver cable and power source during battery changeout. Is it really necessary to register the new battery like you did?
Great video.. thank you so much!!!!!
I replaced my battery, same
procedure. I place my battery saver seizure. Everything connected and tight. But I’m getting no power? Lights didn’t even come on. What could that be?
It's adaptation not adaption. BTW, do you know how much they charge for this at the dealership?
Love the intro man!! And you gotta grind all the time, snow or not haha
Matthew RK That’s right man 😀👍🏻
Don’t you need to enter the Amp hour for the battery? I have seen that in other videos. Thanks
Great to no that it can be done remotely.
If you disconnect battery to reset modules , will it reset my factory alarm ,
In a 2008 525i n52k msport ?
Cheers
Thank you very much.!! I plan on buying the scan tool this week will it work on my 2006 530i?
do we need to have backup battery and connecting before remove(old battery) and install (new battery)?
Hi Lee, I was wondering if you have heard of intermittent starting issues. My car is a 328i (not x drive) It has 78K miles. From one day to another it decided to not turn on. It sounds like an old car with a plugged fuel filter. It basically starts when it wants to. Usually if I let it sit for a few days without attempting to start it, the next time it try it works. Sometimes all the lights turn on (check engine, some weird multiple lights, etc) other times it starts without a single light on. I have had 3 places check it out BMW dealership messed up my car and I have zero confidence in them, they wanted $3500 to repair it prior to having this issue. Another dealership ran a diagnostic and said it was caused by a oil leak and charged me $230 for the diagnostic, the last dealership wanted to update everything and wanted about $4K. I requested to replace the spark plugs and the MAF sensor based on a video that I saw on youtube, but my car is now running amazing, but I still have the intermittent start issue. I know have a battery issue and am hoping, perhaps that was the issue to begin with. Now that I am seeing how complex a vehicle battery is, maybe I should have started with that. Hopefully you can give me some guidance. The car battery light NEVER turned on until today and after everything I tried was before this. Hope to hear from you. Thanks in advance!
Did you get it running better?
The process he performed was "reset battery adaptation". Is that the same as registering the battery?
Sorry if I missed it, but what did you do so you don’t lose all your settings while the battery is unhooked? Thanks
Nice job ....thanks very helpful!
