Where is the battery on a 1991 735i

on the right on my RHD, sat infront of the strut mounting, just behind the light plastic panel

OK...it was on under the back seat beside the driver. Easy job, took about ten mins to replace. Started it up for the first time in 3 months...ran rough as a badgers arse for a few mins and kep cutting out. But the idle smoothed out eventually.

Also had the battery warning light on and ABS and break circuit warning lights on while idling. I narrowed this down to a seized up alternator which I freed up with a large spanner, now it's running like a beauty. Amazing cars! Three months of sitting outside over a winter, and it more or less starts up and runs fine within

20mins....top marks!

Hmmm, my 1990 GM/Vauxhall/Opel crap-box started up first turn of the key and run's just as well as it ever has after sitting for 4 months outside over the winter so I wouldn't exactly call your experience amazing, but then I wouldn't call the winter we've had a real winter anyway, except or today.
