The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your 528i’s battery terminals is known as corrosion.

Corrosion can affect the flow of electricity between your battery and the electrical system in your 528i, possibly causing issues with electrical performance and starting. If left unaddressed for long enough, it may even cause your battery to prematurely fail.

How do I remove corrosion from my 528i car battery?

Regularly inspect the terminals and clean them with a mixture of baking soda and water, a wire brush, and a rag. Disconnect the battery cables before cleaning to help avoid the risk of electrical shock.
