What year?

What engine?

Open rear hatch, remove cover and take note of the Ah (amp hour) rating of the battery. Take a picture and post here.

Buy an AGM battery of the exact same size and Ah capacity (don't buy based on Cold Cranking power or Reserve Capacity. Only Ah matters in a BMW). If the store can't tell, you pass and move on.

Register the battery when install.

What? Why??
Ah is coded (so is type, btw), and the size matters only from "will it fit?" perspective.

He is keeping it simple. Unless you want to go change it for her.
