Vibration Compensating Battery Systems: E36:

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 208 other vehicles, including the 2010 BMW Z4, 2010 BMW X6 M, 2010 BMW X6, 2010 BMW X5 M, and 2010 BMW X5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The E36 convertible is not only an energy source. The battery is designed as a vibration dampener. Due to this additional function the battery also has a special tray with an integrated vibration absorber.

NOTE: E36 convertible batteries are labeled "Vibration Proof". Replacement batteries must be of the same type.
