Battery in trunk.

[var1ant]

When i first got my car i thought that the battery was in the trunk because there is a (non-working) alarm in it. But I just noticed that alot of you have the battery in the trunk and the cover for the batery also says bmw. Was this an option or something?

[nickmp0wer]

the cover was probably just lost if you battery is back there. I might have one i could send to u

on most every e30 ive seen besides mine the batterie is in the trunk. for some reason mines upfront. Im assuming mine was moved up there after the engine swap. :)

Most e30s had a trunk battery, except for the cabrio.

there are other models with the battery in the front as well, such as the early 318i, and perhaps some early euro models.

All 6 cyl cars (Except cabrio) and M3s have it in the trunk.

Thanks for clearing that up, I though the previous owners moved it there because they installed a non working alarm, which i an tearing out tomorow because its bugging me.
