Found only one battery in F15 X5
Hi,
I found only one battery. Where as f15 X5 seems to have two batteries, but I found only one. Which is 105Ah 950 cca. This is how the newer models are ? Mine is 2017 BMW X5 Sdrive with M-Sport package. Could you all please shed some light here. Attached Pic. |

Second battery is optional and was installed with additional options or with 4.4V8 engine.

The second battery is for the electric power steering unit see higher front axel loads, re: AWD models. Since u have a RWD, u wont have a second battery to worry about.

My XDrive car also has a single battery 105aH battery. Second batteries were for V8’s and cars with additional tech.

My 2015 X5 xdrive35i has two batteries.
I'll need to search again, but read somewhere that the vehicles with electrically heated catalytic convertors needed the second battery. https://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...64&postcount=2 https://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...2&postcount=21 Last edited by 1004ron; 03-15-2024 at 10:00 AM.. |

I’ve owned two X5d’s a 2014 and 2017. The ‘14 had one battery while the ‘17 has two. Both were identical spec (including rear seat warmers) except with the ‘17 I added rear camera and comfort access.
Seems like there is a threshold for electronic add-ons or combinations that might also play a factor. |
