battery change

pinco000 · 02-02-2016, 04:03 AM

Hi guys, so it seems my battery is its last legs. It struggles a lot. Car is using glow plugs even if the temps now are not zero or below.
So it needs changing. I have two options: get one from bmw or get from somewhere else.
Question os: Is there any difference between the two? Thanks

I got mine from tayna..
Same spec as the OEM one.. 90Ah, 720 CCA..

Recoded, registered, all working fine..

However, the hinge for the handle on the battery does cause a bit of a seating issue for the +ve terminal, just file off that part..
