Hi,

I have a prefacelift 316 and would like to relocate the battery to the boot as per the later cars.

This is the RealOEM diagram for my car

And this is for a late 325i

I understand I'll need the battery hold down and tray as well as the expansion tank and hose etc.

Has anyone done this, can you provide any info on cable routing, holes I need to drill and so on?

Thanks

Only the E46 cab left now.
Just got too old.
