R59 US Spec Battery Removal "How To"?

I apologize if this has been answered, I've searched everywhere.

Is there a tutorial on how to access and remove the battery? 2013 Roadster S, Left hand drive, US Spec.

Same as the R56, the cowl is similar in design.

Pop the hood and then take off the cowl on the passenger side. https://www.ecstuning.com/Search/Sit...h/51712758794/

Unbolt battery, make sure you wear glasses for protection. 10mm socket. Install in reverse.

A bit of a pain to have to remove the cowl. But it's not horrible either... I don't like the fact that it disturbs the seal. But that's how they did it...

Yeah, I was worried about the seals more than anything. Went ahead and pulled it, no issues, we'll see how it goes back together!
