Battery Care And Maintenance
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2008 BMW Z4, 2007 BMW Z4, 2006 BMW Z4, 2005 BMW Z4, and 2004 BMW Z4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
In low-maintenance batteries, check the acid level at least once a year. If necessary, top up with distilled water up to the top marking.
The increasing number of electronic control units in the car reduces the self-discharging time of the battery (even in standby mode).
