Cheap battery alternative
Hello. I recently had to replace the battery in my 2008 135i. I searched everywhere for a cheap alternative battery (i.e. not BMW brand) with comparable performances and I finally found it.
My original battery was:
I found this one at Home Depot:
In order to register the new battery I had to get the Carly for BMW app (full version - $59/yr) and the Carly adapter ($62 on Amazon). Total cost was $119 + $59 + $62 = $240. The BMW website for battery cost estimator it ranges from $310 to $460. So even with the cost for Carly app/adapter I saved a third of the money. And I learned about registering a new battery. It's all good. |

If anyone is wondering, I purchases a bosch AMG battery at pep boys. I ordered online and it was 20% off, and for the month of january there was a 40 dollar rebate. So my net cost was about 135 + tax
but now its 25% off (but no rebate) if you order online and have them ship to your home for free. Here is the link of the battery https://www.pepboys.com/bosch-platin...OHC?quantity=1 |
