Lift the carpet to expose the spare, and you will be able to see the

No Jeff, it's not. I checked.
....in the owners manual that is. |

Yeah, I saw that after I posted. It's in MY Owner's Manual, but my car is
different. |

You know what's funny? I did not beleive you at first, but I checked and
sure enough it does not tell where the battery is located in the 2002
330ci owners manual! Unbelievable...
It should be in the trunk, on the passenger side under a removeable
plastic tray.

It seems odd that they would remove this information - my 2001 manual
has nice clear diagrams and text on p.168.

Fear of product liability suits if folks could access their own batteries?

Also note that there is an explosive charge connected to the
positive terminal (I think), which is supposed to disconnect the battery
from the engine (but not the lights, IIRC) in some crashes (when the
airbags deploy?). From what I've read, the charge is supposed to be
"contained" and appears "small", but I'd be very careful nonetheless.
Hard to believe, but it's in the Bentley manual. Other references
