Is there anything required other than removing the old battery & putting in the new? Ie I’m hoping there is not anything the dealer has to do to tell the car the battery has been swapped out. I seem to recall the e90 folks required an extra step other than just replacing the battery. I had my f30 for 5+ years but never had to do anything with the battery.
Well that is not exactly step by step DIY thread but long story short you can buy new battery from Batteries Plus Bulbs or other retailer and replace it. You will also need to register the battery so it charges properly, you will need ISTA and the Enet cable or some other scanners (like described in the linked thread) also can help you with coding new battery.
