    Battery replacement 2008 X3

    Just noticed my battery getting low, its a 2012 battery.

    Sooooooooo, I wanted to replace it with an H-8 battery from walmart. (the battery for my car)

    Can I just replace it, or do I have to go thru all that registration shit using the BMW logger etc..... to advise the car it has a new battery and avoid overcharging??

    I'd prefer to avoid all that nonsense, dealer or repair shop is absolutely OUT OF THE QUESTION.

    TIA

    If it has larger battery specs, you need to register it.

    Regardless of battery type you have to register it and if it had a lead acid in it and you put an agm in you will have to update the battery info before registering it
