I searched the battery replacement posts and found some interesting posts. Some indicate simple swap, while others mention many different steps, including reprogramming the computer.

Dealer wants $122 for new battery and $99 to install; claims, “Labor intense job”.

I have replaced the batteries in three other BMWs and they were all a simple remove old and install new (all were OEM replacements).

Is that the case with the X or does the computer need reprogramming after new battery is installed?

Thanks,
drs
