x5 battery status
2016 X5 35i M sport with 48751 miles. 5 years and 4 months.
Just use bimmerlink to check 12v battery status. it reported 74%. The battery is still running strong and no compliant. should I replace it?

I think you've answered your own question when you say "The battery is still running strong and no compliant". If you have no issues, why replace? The battery level is as likely to be the result of short journeys with heated seats etc running as it is to be an issue with the battery.
For reference, I have a 2014 F15 40d with 76k miles, and original battery. No issues. |

Keep in mind the 74% is a guess based on the number of hours under voltage which is also available in the computer data. Keep an eye on that number to see if it changes a lot since you have the tools. It could have been under voltage because of lights or plugging accessories in, meaning your battery has lots of life. You don't want to be stranded on a cold day. 2014, 150k. Changed mine at 70% as preventative before winter hit.
