WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 BMW M3, 2010 BMW M3, 2009 BMW M3, and 2008 BMW M3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If a normal or quick charger is used to charge the battery, the battery must be disconnected from the vehicle electrical system and removed. This prevents damage to paintwork and upholstery.

Ideally, battery charging is performed with BMW-approved charging computers

IMPORTANT: In order to prevent the intelligent battery sensor from malfunctioning, the charging terminals in the engine compartment must be used without fail in vehicles from E60 and should be used if possible in other vehicles.
