2008 X3 Battery
Hi All,
My fiance has a 2008 X3 and the battery is dying. On my X5 I have to have the battery programmed at the dealership. Is this the case with her X3 as well or can I just swap it myself without causing a light on the dash? Thanks for the info. Regards,

A new battery needs to be registered with the '08 X3 as I just replaced mine last year.
I buy my own battery, install it, then take it to an independent shop to register the battery. They should only charge you about 30 minutes in labor. |

I did not program mine and it has been in the car for over two years. I have read in a couple places it does not need it but in other places that it does. I am just going to run it until it goes out or I trade it back in. If you ask your SA I am sure they will say yes to get you in there to spend money.
