However, I must admit my biggest surprise is the battery. I have been trying to find someone who installed this battery on a BMW for quite some time now. I even contacted Antigravity but they said they don't know how I can get this working on a BMW. I knew it would require some coding but I need to know what exactly needs to be done so that I can code it myself Did you take it to a BMW dealer or third party shop? Also, do you know specifics of the coding they did? I assume the battery works just like the stock one
Initially, I installed the battery myself, and the car was completely dead (which was frightening, so I rushed to put the stock battery back in, and fortunately everything worked fine). So then I took it to Madness Motorworks, just down the street. They said the coding job is pretty straightforward. They got it all done in an hour. And it works just like stock (but just a heck of an awful lot lighter). I'd HIGHLY recommend the Antigravity battery. It has an emergency start reserve feature in case you somehow leave something on or the the battery gets drained.
