What battery should I put in my 335xi?

NYBMWSWAG · 11-26-2012, 04:51 PM

Hey forums quick question, I have a 2008 335xi coupe and I'm wondering if it matters what replacement battery I get. Should I go to the dealer and buy the one they suggest or for example just buy an interstate or die hard, etc... If all the dimensions are the same it shouldn't matter right? Or should I just get the battery from my dealer to be 100% sure and spend a lot more money..

Thanks

Make sure the capacity is at least the same or better. Ideally you also need to code the new battery in (car won't "know" that it has a new battery and will keep (over) charging it like it did with the old one ultimately decreasing battery life or in extreme cases battery fire).
