Reccomendations for a 08 E93 335i Battery

BMWMusician · 05-08-2020, 12:49 PM

Wondering which one to go with? Battery lasted about 5 years and less than 15k miles.

Any suggestions?

go for AGM Battery from Dealer, price is negligible compared to aftermarket ones.

also note, that you will need 2 Things done at the time of battery replacement:
1) Code your car to AGM Battery (only if your original Battery was non-agm)
2) Register the Battery on car computer, this is a MUST, google it.

Looks like you don't use the car much (short trips/low miles/seldom driven), so a good battery tender could also be a good investment.

I went with this one today from pep boys...purchased it ONLINE and got 25% off plus core return AND a 48 month warranty.

I'm about to pull the trigger on that same battery. Good price and 12 months longer warranty than most.
