I did jump it as normal,, started without any issues,, 520d, still trucking along still,,
I don’t jump start other cars from a BMW, period. Great video. I have an F30, an E37, and an E89. Guys, replace your BMW battery before you think you need to. It’s essential to have a good battery or it will lead to a host of other problems.
E37?
I’ve used My e90 to Jumpstart alot of cars no issues 😆
Cool sound lad
Excellent advise George, I didn't know this so is was really helpful mate, much appreciated.
Very welcome Graham!
Crucial reminder and explaining!! Tore.
Thanks very much. Always used the terminal under the bonnet as i knew there must be a good reason why but now i know what it is
Good job!
Thx George.
Surprised not to see big Achtung! posted in the area of the battery.
Battery posts up front in the engine bay super handy for connecting smart charger too 👍🏻
I do this nightly and I got 10 years life on my previous BMW battery.
This isn’t the original BMW battery, yeah batteries should last forever if you drive your car regularly and don’t let it dip below the required level 👌🏼
On an e46 the negative jump terminal is on the same side as the red jump terminal but under that black plastic cover you see between the windshield and the hood strut.
Thanks for saving me about to help a guy who needs a jump and I’ve only had my new 430i 3 days would’ve been a huge bummer!
Very useful for any new BMW owner. Keep up. :)
Thanks 🙂
Surprising how many recovery service drivers don't kniw this. Had both rac and aa try to jump from the battery
Haha ffs
Learnt something new today!
Welcome!
Excellent advice thanks 👍
Really appreciated seeing this video, thanks!
My pleasure!
Thanks for saving me! Great advice…😊
I charge by car using a CTEK smart charger, I have previously had a terminal to the positive and then connected to a ground point on the chassis to make sure they the flow is charge is registered by the IBS. I will move the wiring connector to the front now and have them in the engine bay just to be sure. Cheers George.
Yes please do, no worries Stu!
Thanks for the advice bro appreciate it since I have a e87 bmw 1 series m pack this helped 🔥😊
Welcome brother!
Hiya cheers for this just about jump my 2007 BMW - thank you 😅🎉
Thanks mate, good on you :)
I have driven BMWs all my adult life and I did not know this 😱
Thanks for the heads up and warning! I connected a trickle charger to my X6 because it is only driven over weekends - considered installing it at the battery but fortunately decided to install it at the jump terminals under the bonnet - close call!
Haha good stuff!
The 😂
Just bought my bmw and ran it flat programming satnav etc. May have saved me a huge drama, thanks mate...
Always have your battery on charge whenever doing any sort of coding or programming
Thanks bud..iwas about to do it the wrong way in my son bmw128i...thinking it's all the same way...
Good info
Thanks!
Thanks
Welcome Ernest!
This channel deserves much more subscribes
Getting there man!
I didn’t know that, thanks 👍
Glad to be of help John!
Dang !! I saw the video!! He is MIGHTY MOUSE!! Joe was right!!
What if I put jumper cables for 5 minutes while the other car engine is running and the Battery gain power then I remove the jumpers and start the car? Is it still wrong? I've been doing that for a while.
Why not? I have started it more than 10 times directly from others car battery to mine battery, no problem.
Good video 👍🏼
Thanks babe 😘
How about if you want to jump start other car from yours? I’ve heard that then you are supposed to use battery terminals instead under bonnet ones?
Use engine bay terminals
Good man.....thanks 👍🙏
Cheers mate
Great. Wish BMW had told me that! Now I think I've knackered my modules. What now?
Pray and hope that isn't the case!
I've jumped someone elses flat battery from the boot battery before, will this still have the same problems?
Potentially yes, do not do it. You have terminals in your engine bay for a reason👍🏻
Thx
Any tips on how to get in the trunk when your battery cable comes disconnected and the trunk keyhole doesn’t work anymore to open it also for some reason the previous owners took out the trunk release lever inside the car so now it’s really hard to in the Trunk
Top man.. keep up the good work
Thanks Hassan!
thanks :)
Is this true for a 2001 330ci?
100% correct
🙌🏼
Saved a few modules with this one mate
Hi I ended up doing this silly mistake and now my car drives on limp mode do you no what it will have damaged ?
really? maybe you can take it off limp mode did you fix it
About to jump start my 05 e53 with an older model dodge . Should i avoid doing this . Minus 38 out right now
Fine to do, if you use the battery terminals in the engine bay
opps i tried to jump start from the front it didnt work, so then i moved to back and again it didnt work, so now i will just charge it for a day and hopefully it works
should i be worried ive fried my modules in the attempt of jump starting it from the back though it didnt jump start as expected?
Did the same. Did u have any issues?
Good info! From another video, the guy says never to use jumper cables/another vehicle either as that can blow your modules too but to use one of those battery packs you can get e.g. NOCO GB40 etc. What are your thoughts on that?
Jump starts are generally fine but a jumper pack / charger is the best for your battery
Okay I am about to jump start my 05 e53 with a dodge truck . It is minus 38 out right now . Is there anything I need to know before hand ? Ie. Postive then negative on my bmw then negative positive on his
So is it ok to run a trickle charger to the battery directly? Or should this only be done on the terminals under the hood? I’ve heard there isn’t enough juice with them to get it all the way to the battery from the terminals. Thank you so much man!
Terminals in engine bay
Hey man, glad for this video, wonder, how long should I keep the jump start on ?
Should start straight away
Very useful!
Awesome man! How do you go about replacing a battery for a BMW? Cheers

@@GeorgeAusters nice one, thanks mate!
Can you get 12v power from the front of the car ,say to operate a oil extraction pump where u need to connect to the positive and negative terminals or do u have to go in the boot to the battery?
Do everything from the engine bay terminals 👍🏻
Hey please i want to ask you is it okay to use an 12v battery charger to charge the battery without taking it out of the trunk?
yes you can and you actually should leave it in the car since you will be charging it through the terminals under the bonnet/hood
Leaving other bmw channels in your dust lad
hey if i'm jump starting my car what cables go first and what car do i connect cables to first
Connect to terminals under the bonnet, not on the battery. Doesn’t really matter which you connect first
@@GeorgeAusters thank you george
Hi. Iv owned my 6 series for the best part of 5 years now and have just recently heard about not jumpstarting from the battery....and have on occasion had to jumpstart the engine. I have done it for the battery but mostly from the engine compartment . Have a good new battery now.. but what I want to know is if I have caused any damage,,,, what should I look out for, as in any indication that I may have caused some damage. Thanks Rob
You’d probably have failed modules by now if it done some damage but never do it again
Wow!! I'm glad you made this video. I would have jumped it from the battery. Thanks so much.
No worries man, glad to help!
I didnt know this but i have done this many times before to a few bmw's and had no problems. I have tried jump starting them from the front but found that on a really dead battery & diesel engine wont start from front terminals, You have to jump it direct from battery. I must be lucky but will not take a chance again
Diesels require more power to start due to the larger crankshafts👍🏻
Can still be jumpstarted if you have a high powered car to jump from.
Great Video, quick unrelated question. Where do you get your assembly diagrams, tightening torques and part numbers or any other infomation for the N47 engine series?
REALOEM 👍🏻
@@GeorgeAusters they do torque specs aswell?
Hi mate,
I have a SEALEY MAC07 tyre inflator. Would that need to be connected as you mentioned in this video in the front of the car?
Yes
i just tried to charge the battery the way he showed not to do. whats gonna happen now ?
You can fry modules
I have just watched this and now feel stupid as ran low on my battery and wouldn't quit start so had to get a jump start did try the front but failed so I did jump it from the back but now worried that I have cooked the car
How can I check to see if I have damaged anything
If you fried modules then you’d have electrical issues👍🏻
@@GeorgeAusters thanks for that today I had a battery symble come on dash and also noticed slight flicker on stereo button lights
When did you jump the battery?
@@GeorgeAusters yesterday afternoon
my car is flat, parked for 5 months, wont start, is it jump start or battery charge?
Either should work in theory but from experience the battery will be toast and you’ll need a new one
My battery died like three weeks ago, my mistake used the radio for 2 hours with the engine off, got jumped started directly to the battery, I didn’t know, now three weeks after I’m having a slow starting car, I’m worried, help me guys! Any advise? Takes a few seconds to start then after runs just fine
Could just be a weak battery👍🏻
How would I do it before I watched if I was just going to click on your video cause I didn’t know how to do it
Just done it,now no windows or windscreen wipers,hope its just fuses
That’s your FRM module fried.. Did you watch this video BEFORE doing it?
@@GeorgeAusters unfortunately not
Whats FRM module
@j9201 Watch this video: WE HAVE A BIG PROBLEM WITH THE BMW I BOUGHT FROM BIRMINGHAM!
ruclips.net/video/5VmiXp6LiLE/видео.html
holy fuck thank you
You're welcome
What if the car is parked in a garage and there is no enough space?
Push the car out
@@GeorgeAusters The car was on parking gear. Can't go to neutral because Battery completely flat. It's an auto.
You can put it into neutral manually
Would have been awesome if you did a fake jump start from the back and inserted that explosion scene. LOL
Hahahaha good idea 😂
No......my dog doesn't like it.........LOL
@@goldenlabradorskye Never mind your dog....I end up cowering under the couch !!
Where's your 520 mate, still got it ?
Yep, more videos on it coming soon👍🏻
@@GeorgeAusters great mate, im enjoying your vids, I also have a 520d LCI Auto
@@German_engines Nice one! Any videos in particular you'd like to see?
@@GeorgeAusters I have on order a new water pump and a new thermostat which I will be changing by myself, also ordered the kit from darkside (egr) and doing them all at the same time what do you think? I have disconnected the egr for weeks now and no warning lights as of yet! Couple of thousand miles on!!
Verás...
🙏🏼
This make absolutely no sense, to me. How could connecting another battery to the BMW battery cause any harm? The car is getting power again at the same point it always receives power.
Fuuuck! Thanks George !
Hi George.....I need your kind advise please. I am having a BMW E93 (Built Year 2007) I have nit used the car for nearly 3 months and the battery is dead now. I have jump-started and drove for nearly 1 hour on motorway at the speed of 70mph. Even after that the car battery is not charged and the car is not cranking. But, jump-start works.
Do you think that I can restore the battery using the battery pools in engine bay? The battery is around 5 / 6 years old.
Battery is dead.. needs replacing
Hello any tips on how to get in the trunk my battery came disconnected on my 323i 1999 and the key hole doesn’t work for the trunk and there’s no trunk release lever in side the car it’s been sitting since June now I got it up for sale .
Do you have garage bro?
Nope
i was like 4 minutes from taking off the IBS and using the battery in the back 🥴
Just as well!
You have failed to explain exactly why it makes any difference. The cable in the hood area goes directly to the battery... What is the logical reason that it makes any difference.
Needs to go through the IBS
No need to hide that comment it was a compliment that your beating me on views likes and comments again so ill have to buy some views again 😂
Me watching this after being jump started from the trunk battery terminals several times & wondering why it’s not working 😭😭
Bruh… RIP
Do you know if a diagnostic scan will detect the issue
Looks like im going to have go buy some more views
I’ve heard don’t jump it from the front and don’t jump it from the back what the fuck
So put black to red and red to black lmfao.
Precisely 😅
@@GeorgeAusters lol
What you saying doesn't make sense. the only difference besides increasing the capacity is around a volt more from the other cars alternator and that only with your cars alternator is not ru ning. I call bull shit.
Try it and fry your FRM module
Is this the same for a 2004 316 compact?
Yes
Thanks
Thanks bud..iwas about to do it the wrong way in my son bmw128i...thinking it's all the same way...
Glad to help!
Thanks
