Cost of battery DIY

Nomana · 05-25-2020, 06:28 AM

Today I decided to replace my 6 years old battery.

First I thought it was very easy to access the battery and not many cables and things like other bmw.

During the struggle, I almost gave up since the battery was so heavy and no space to handle it properly to remove it from such a small room.

After finish I walked to my house and my girl asked me what happen to my arm. I had not seen it before. This diy almost costs my arm lol.

It's a very bad design in my opinion
