Hello, i replaced my battery two years ago on my F10 (no stop and start). Did i need to register it with your software. Two years after, is it worth to do it now?
Excuse my english, it is not my mother language.
Thanks

This is the single worst feature of modern BMWs. "After 2002 BMW got pretty sophisticated..."
But not sophisticated enough to monitor battery health smh.

[xpectz]

Why not just recommend Carly or Bimmercode/Bimmerlink as options for those that DIY?

[edwardthayer]

BMW didn't get to sophisticated if it can't recognize that just the battery has been replaced!🤦‍♂️ It definitely shouldn't be so difficult. Thank you for the video though.

[kisswelldambamuromo]

so DME has sophisticted electronics for the battery management but can't sense you have put a new battery.money making system period.

how is $119 "a fraction of the cost" of what the dealer asks for, when my local bmw dealer asks for $125 and a local "bloke" does it for $20 :)

[ucanoe]

BMW should have intelligent systems that know how much charging the battery requires...having to tell the car is poor management and not responsive to the batteries actual needs as it ages. BMW needs to improve their systems.

I thought it was ok to not register it, but after 3 months my brand new alternator fried from overcharging and must of messed up the voltage regulator.

How to Register your battery = pay us to do it…😐

I've changed my BMW 3 SERIES battery without any coding and 4 years NP issue.

[KWN-Cards]

Seems to me that as smart as these cars are nowadays the ecu would learn the battery on it's own. I'm curious on other manufactures having to register new batteries other than BMW or Mini.

[C.M]

If I remove the battery from my walkman while sitting in my 2009 bmw 528i do I also have to register the 4 AA batteries to the system? Or does it do that by it's self?

[bobbyz]

I don't this applies to 2007 BMW X3 i put a new battery in and everything works well except for some lights that can be reset after installing new battery.

Hi there,
Do you have to register the auxiliary battery on a 330e? The one under the hood and not the main battery in the trunk. Many thanks

After replacing batteries on 2022 bmw 530, direct replacement bought from bmw dealership, registered battery with bummer link but the drive screen is black (off). Anyone had this kind of issue before & how you fix it ?

[adrianolowery]

What about unplug replug because my seat belt retriever keeps pulling in rather than extending out

[judgegrowler]

In the olden days (and still in many current model cars) alternators ran all the time and provided charge all the time keeping batteries at full charge... and batteries lasted years.

Now I can understand the concept of disconnecting the alternator when at full charge to unload the engine and improve fuel efficiency a little... however I don't understand how running the alternator longer now is reducing the life of the battery considering most cars (and previously BMWs) run their alternators, and charge their batteries, all the time?

[jmcguevarra]

$119 Fraction of the cost? My local bmw dealer charge $100 to register your new battery.

[ProphetRay]

I've had my BMW for 30 days, BMW is crazy the way they do stuff😅 2011 328i 4 dr 138k miles I paid $6720.00

[christophercabrera]

Hi, question, I bought an autozone battery, apparently it’s the same size as the original that came with the car, can the autozone battery be registered??
