VOILA!! back to the 50/50 ideal  :nyehehe: actually as long as balance is plus or minus a cummulative 5-% or so. :e 52.5%: 47.5% it "OK" as BMWs are not spot on 50/50 anyway and if they were handling would be upset with your typical 60kg person sit down!! wether front or rearmovign the battery should'n tcost much as you just to need to rewire with some heavy wires..quite typical fix on heavy engined cars such as Alfa v6, maseratis etc...jsut my 2cents..</blockquote>
