Where is the battery located in a 2016 BMW X1?

I bought a new battery for my 2016 BMW X1 since mine is about five years old now. But when I went to replace it, I couldn’t find it! Where is the battery located?

The battery in a 2016 BMW X1 is actually not located under the hood. It’s in the trunk underneath the cargo area carpet. To change the battery yourself, you’ll want to have 10- and 13-mm socket wrenches, plus Phillips and flathead screwdrivers.
