This may sound like a stupid question but where is the battery located on a 1991 BMW 530i? I got the car about a month ago or so and The battery light is on. I want to get it tested but its not under the hood. There is a Positive (+) jumping post under the hood but I can't find the battery. The owners manual doesn't even show where it is. Its not in the trunk anywhere else I can see......I'm thinking maybe behind the glove box but there are a couple panels that would need to be removed.....Help Please?!!?

It is under the rear seat. You have to give a good tug at the front corner edges of the seat bottom and it'll pop up.

All BMWs have the battery in the trunk on the right side. It helps them achieve the perfect 50/50 weight balance between the front and the back of the car.
It should be on the right side behind or beneath a panel. They put it on the right side because in any collision the statistically least probable place to be hit is the right rear quarter.

you may placed classic tires on your automobile with the inventory wheels. It got here from the production facility with overall performance run residences interior the sport equipment, I think of it develop into no longer good in any respect interior the snow. you may replace them with classic activity tires of the comparable length, or placed on all season tires which will help interior the snow. Run residences won't supply a greater luxury journey. they are, although, a mandatory protection function of the vehicle and it would be a shame to lose them. My advice may well be: locate all season run residences of the comparable length and use them. In protection of run residences-geared in direction of the previous answer. take a leaf with the aid of your community or close by newspapers and evaluate each death that occured while a disabled automobile (flat tire) that develop into hit via the two a below the effect of alcohol motive force or distracted motive force on the line. the protection ingredient of those tires far outweigh the greater beneficial cost.

It's probably in your trunk on the right side near the tail lights underneath carpeting. This is where the battery is on our BM 7 series. It should be there too.
