Ask Steve at Bavauto, because he sells a fairly inexpensive battery that he regularly puts in our cars.

bavarianautohouse.com

(714) 774-8620. He also sells the OEM but of course its more.

I should explain i don't know which battery since i just had him install/code an OEM

three companies make all the batteries. Johnson Control, Exide and one other.

Pick your poison. Good luck trying to find out from any of the companies if the innards are different depending on the label they put on the battery.

Your decision should be lead acid or glass mat, then if you are not label conscious, find the best price.

+1. I learned this several years ago and it made my battery purchases much easier. The other manufacturer is Varta, and they made the original battery in both of my 1-series.
