  • @datowong The oil filter is located in the engine bay towards the front near the radiator. Here is a picture tiny(dot)cc/i5g99. It is located in the smaller black housing thing on the left. You are going to need a special larger socket to open it up.

  • @xxkevinxx323 Kevin, where is the oil filter located? Thks.

  • @datowong I don't yet but i will try to make one as soon as possible

  • @xxkevinxx323 Thks Kevin. Do you have a video changing your bimmer oil? Appreciate your vid.

  • @datowong You shouldn't need to because I did not need to either.

  • Thks Kevin! What about reprograming the iDrive to recognize the new battery?

  • @datowong The only thing you will need to reset is your clock and you absolutely should not have the car running while you change the battery.

  • Kevin, do you have to reset the clock and reprogram the iDrive to recognize your new battery? Do you have to keep your car running while changing the battery to prevent data lost?

  • Hi, Kevin. This video's just great! First of all, it pointed out the exact location of the battery on my 2010 550i; secondly, removal/install process was very clear although I was able to buy a duplicate size replacement battery from Kragen. I'd like to mention specifically that all my stored data in the vehicle were not erased. That was an easy fix-it for me. Thank you again.

  • @vijay2007bmw530xi Battery registration is required in most BMW's 05 and up and some BMW's require AGM (absorbed glass mat) batteries not lead acid batteries.
