Which is the best battery brand to buy
Hello,
I think I'm getting closer to change my factory battery. My local dealer only sells Bosch at astronomic prices, so I'm starting to look for another choice, please post your favorite battery brand if possible. Thanks in advance!

Look at East Penn/Deka Manufacturing. I am sure they make AGM batteries for OE BMW.

Replacing a battery also requires some coding, especially important if you install an AGM type.

I was told that an OEM battery installed in around $500.
This blows my mind... Could it be true? I understand that there are coding requirements, but $500??? Ugh. Comments and feedback appreciated. Jim |

It literally takes 2 mins to code a battery replacement. I got an AutoZone AGM for $180 bucks and coded it myself. Works great!
