Re: 325e battery location

[Dog-n-Hog <woody@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Your battery is in the correct place (the trunk).  It
was placed here by design (for better weight distribution).
Bear in mind, the E30 body is the same for the 318 vs. the
325e, so the 318's battery mounting location remains even
though the battery is not placed there during the 325e
assembly process.
