There is not the same sling device in the iS. Reason being, we have a lightweight donut spare that is fairly easy to remove from the vehicle. Everyone else has a monstrous full size spare that is nearly impossible to get out of the vehicle without assistance of that sling. I just replaced my battery a couple days ago, very easy. Pay attention to how the foam pieces under the spare tire sit so that when you put it back together you can get the spare seated correctly. I don't remember the other X5's having those foam pieces.
