Interesting. I can't find an extra battery on RealOEM: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/partgrp.d...id=52155&hg=61
How about posting a picture?

OP, if your car has any of the above, there's your answer.

Yes Thanks, I Have Integral Active Steering.
Was A Bit Surprised, Cause When I Leave The Car Standing For A Week Or So The Display Stated That The Car Was Starting From Back Up Battery.
So I Looked In The Boot And Found A Motorcycle Battery!

Thanks Bimmertaxi & Jon
