Battery died today after seven years despite being connected to a CTEK battery charger/maintainer on a daily basis.... Now I get to try out the DIY first hand.
Wish me luck.
Update: Had some anxiety about changing the battery because of the IBS crap mounted on the battery, but the DIY was great. Replaced the BMW stock battery with an AutoZone Duralast Gold battery. Probably will need to register the battery, seeing that its specs were higher than the original.
This is the second battery in ten years.
I only had to replace the battery in my E36 once in the
18 years I owned it. Once again, new/high tech is not necessarily good tech.
