Nothing in the owners manual, nothing in the app(s) (BMW Driver's Guide nor MyBMW), no YouTube videos, nothing. Tried the Auto Zone-type websites too, no schematics or anything. I'd wondered if the floor in the boot was removable -- haven't seen any pull tabs or anything to know how to even see the battery. There is no clear/obvious way to pry up the floor either. Feels like I'm going to break something when trying to lift up the carpeting.

Clearly BMW wants owners to bring cars to the Service Dept. instead of self-servicing of the battery.

When you do find it (it's under the floor in the boot / trunk) what are you intending to do? It's almost certainly going to be a sealed battery. If you want to trickle charge it, the connections are under the bonnet (hood)
