My battery started acting up at 4 years, it acted up when it was cold earlier this year. No need to push it to the very end so 5 years.

I dunno when I bought a Sears DieHard and the car wasn't with me, I was charged a core charge that was to be returned when I brought the old battery back. State law I guess.

So judging by the $294.99 total, battery $199.99, and the $15 core, labor was $80? I tell you, the reason I ask is that trying to figure out how much BMW charges for things is like trying to figure out how much Ray Bans cost when you have vision insurance. No joke, the cash price is one thing, the insurance price is another. I'm just wondering how one person can say the battery replacement was $200, and another $500. Where is the variance??
