Nice tutorial Sal. Nice weight savings too! 😁
Thanks Jerms! Every little bit helps 👍
Ouuuh new content. Yeeee
Yessir! 🙏
I wanted to buy an antigravity battery but it costs so much money. How much was the duralast? Around 200bucks?
Yea $200 for 20 pound weight saving vs around $1000 for 50 pound weight saving (antigravity)
You hit the nail on the head bro. I can’t believe you still have more under your sleeve. I gotta say this one has gotta be one of my favs from all of your videos. Weight savings for the low, can’t beat that. When the time comes for my batt swap, I’m defo doing this too.
Thanks! Every bit of weight savings helps with how heavy the vert is. So far I have lighter wheels, exhaust, battery, etc. would love to do lighter seats, but very difficult with how the E93 seatbelts are.
Good video Sal! Do you know exactly how to determine what the AH of the battery is when coding? I keep seeing conflicting info online. I'm like 95% sure my new one is 90AH but want to make sure 👍 😅
Thanks! I had to Google an AH calculator and input the information it asked for.
@@Sals_Garage ah ok, I'll look for one online, thanks as always brotha!
@@micraw714 anytime! Good luck 👍
hi im soo new to e93, saw ur vid cool! if u dont mind sharing the app on ur phone and the obd type needed ?
Thanks, I use Bimmergeeks Protools and this adapter: amzn.to/3Pod156
Did you need to put in a code for the radio after removing the battery?
No, I just coded it to the car using BimmerGeeks Protool.
Sal what’s up how u ? I figure you are somebody I can ask who will have an answer .. I have just installed a 94ah battery in my m3 … previous battery was a 92ah .. the device I have only registers and doesn’t code … do you feel I should pay a shop to change my ah to the new 94ah since I’m going to a shop tomorrow ? Or is it fine if I leave it ? I’ve been doing some reading and they are saying if it’s that close it can just be left .. but I rather play it safe than sorry what do you say my guy ? Also upon watching your video and from what else I’ve seen .. there isn’t too much options to place certain numbers 92 94 .. and to keep it as close to the 90 or whatever it may be .. I see I may not even have to change it . But I’ll still appreciate your input
Hi! Just get it as close as you can, does not need to be exact. Good luck and happy holidays.
@@Sals_Garage thanks and yea after I watched a couple videos I realized there isn’t a option to specifically make it 92 or 94 .. it’s either 90 or 110 .. thanks man happy holidays
@@laykawest8674 correct! Take care.
Does protocol register it and code it because I heard you have to code it and register it it’s not the same thing
Yes it does both.
always nice intro!
Thanks for filming it Carl!
Had my ear buds on and almost lost my hearing to that intro 😅
In the past, with other cars, every time I pulled the battery out, the radio would lock and ask for a code. Will this happen on a 2007 bmw 328i??
You must have the non iDrive model. For those you need the original security code.
@@Sals_Garage Update... No codes needed. Thank you so much!
@@mikecruz9226 awesome!
What happens if you don't code it ? I changed mine 2 years ago and didn't code it
It will tend to overcharge the battery and wear it out quicker.
May I know what type of apps are you using?
Bimmergeeks Protools.
👍🏼
🙏
So I dropped my ear plugs under my battery if I remove the battery just to put it back in. Will I need to code anything
No need, only if you replace with a new battery.
@@Sals_Garage thx you for the reply
@@Phettraining86 anytime!
Anyone here knows a channel that only does videos of the e93 m3 on how to fix everything like pump, alternator, brakes everything literally
There are a few on UA-cam.
@@Sals_Garage you know their name by any chance ? Someone should make a channel of just fiximg everything the e93 m3 has
@@Sals_Garage also do i need to do the obd reprogrammed ? Even tho my bmw’s radio doesnt even work the sound system either so not like i care if anything comes out different or what is the programming for
@@dannyphantoom69 yes you’ll need to register the battery. It’s in the video.
@@Sals_Garage but why ? Last time i didnt do it and the car was working fine
Do u need to code it even if u put the exact same battery in again?
No need to code if same battery type. Just register it to the car so that the alternator won’t overcharge it.
@@Sals_Garage thank u. and last thing, Does your car have start/stop function? mine is a 11 with start/stop so i think i need a battery with 90ah? and not lower, there is a 90ah one in it right now. what do u think, its just the 80ah one cost half the price to a 90ah one, what do u think.
@@afgpkdk 80 ah Will do fine. It only matters for the starter if you’re replacing it you need a special starter for start stop.
@@Sals_Garage when i look for a battery on a website for the M3 it says for cars with start/stop and then there is all the other batteries, the one they say is for start/stop is a Exide 95ah battery 😆
@@afgpkdk up to you if you want to pay extra but these people are trying sell you on buying more than needed.
How is the battery handling?
Great for about a year, but the capacity is staring to get too small for me where the battery discharge icon comes up after leaving the car ignition on for a few min 😆
@@Sals_Garage when it got low, did the car start throwing random codes?
I’d send them back to Nuremberg for this design.
Yea quite a lot of work just to replace the battery
Ya missed one crucial element...the ..removing those plastic trunk pieces...and then putting them back in......I had to remove those one time on my e93 and it was a pian in the ass.....to get them out without breaking them and an even better headache putting them back in correctly so it doesn't effect the top going up/down 🤦🏻
Good vid tho
Yea you’re right about that. I actually don’t put the Lego pieces back on anymore so that’s why I didn’t have to take them out 😆
You’re right though, it’s annoying for sure.
I’m new to BMW. I want to get that app and whatever else I need that you used on your phone please. Fill me in!! Thanks so much for video and ahead of time for your response!!
Hi! All you need is an android phone, bimmergeeks pro tools app, and a wireless Wi-Fi obd2 port dongle. Good luck 👍
@@Sals_Garage thank you so much 🙏🏽
@@boujiiyt5363 anytime.
@@Sals_Garage I just tried looking for it on Amazon…not sure if that’s where I could find a dongle. Can you help again please? Thanks 🙏🏽
@@boujiiyt5363 amzn.to/3Lg2WVG
70 amps?
Yes 👍
woop woop! yeeeee!
😁
You can code so many cool things with Bimmer geeks pro tool and it’s great for diagnosing error codes. I highly recommend it.
@@Sals_Garage nice! I have a lot footages actually, I will give it to you on Thursday.
Awesome! Thanks Carl, cant wait to see ya.
