There is no need to open the bonnet normally. In fact BMW advise owners never to. It's a 2 man job btw.

It's normal to have the battery at the front on a (good mid-engine) sports car. As you say, for balance. (In fact I can't remember the last mid-engine car I owned that did not have the battery at the front, and low down.)
