How to do I tighten down negative post on battery? E93

BMWMusician · 01-11-2023, 09:35 AM

Was changing the battery again on my e93 and I’m not sure if I remember if it had a nut on it, or if I need to get one? I know it was extremely hard to take off the negative terminal this time I had to twist and turn and I’m wondering do I need it?

Yes, there is a screw. It’s not a separate part number, so you’d need to look at some generic ones online to see if they would work ( if you can’t find yours). Your version of the terminal would take a t-bolt. I wouldn’t run around with it off personally.
