Power Distribution
The maintenance free 90 AH battery
in the X5 is mounted in the rear below
the spare tire and EHC compressor
unit. The battery box is formed of
molded plastic and the positioning of
the battery aids in weight distribution.
As with all BMW vehicles, the battery
is equipped with the BST on the pos-
itive battery cable.
Power distribution for the vehicle and
systems is through two fuse carriers
mounted in the right storage com-
partment in the rear and above the
glove box in the front.
The battery jump/charge point is
located in the engine compartment on
the left side of the fire wall.
