Replacing the battery in a BMW 5 Series is actually quite simple. First, locate the battery in the engine compartment. It will be in a black box with a red positive terminal. Next, disconnect the negative terminal using a wrench. Then, remove the battery by loosening the bolts that hold it in place. Replace with the new battery and tighten the bolts. Finally, reconnect the negative terminal. It's always a good idea to have a professional double check your work, but this should get you started!
