In Toronto, I changed my BMW X5’s key battery myself. Easy peasy—take off the rubber cover, swap the battery, and ta-da! Trust me, it’s simpler than assembling IKEA furniture. Saved me a trip to the dealer, plus a bit of coin. I’ve shared the technique with my friends, and none of us wanna look dumb in the BMW world. Haha, DIY can be wild but proud.
Just changed mine over in Toronto and it was a hassle! Imagine, I’m like, “Why can’t this be easier?” The battery’s hidden under the button plate, so gotta be super careful not to break it. Luckily, a friend had the right tools and we just popped it off. Real talk: keep an eye on that tiny screw when you’re taking it off—I’ve seen folks ditch it, man! Straight up frustrating, but totally doable.
I’ve been living in sunny California and always had a bit of trouble changing the BMW key battery. Finally got the hang of it though. Turned out the little battery door was hiding under the key fob buttons – who knew? Just be patient and use the right tools, and everything’ll be smooth. Share your tips too!
