I'm curious if anyone has had success replacing their battery with an aftermarket one in an e90 locally in Orlando.

I have the registration/coding covered, but I refuse to pay the stealership $500+ for installed, $360 for takey outey.

I have researched countless boards, but it seems as though some of the brands listed aren't available OTC in our area.

If you have feedback, please list where you purchased it, approximate price paid and group/size.

Thanks group!

Paying the stealership vs. going to WalMart? Leaning hard toward paying the extra $300 or $400.

I believe the batteries are ok... just can't do Walmart. Sam's, maybe... Sears ok...
Anyone find something at Napa, pepboys, advance... or preferably, an indy parts store. I'd much rather patronize a locally-owned business than give walmart a dime.

Interstate batteries work great, the cost is reasonable and they last at least as long as the OEM.
Interstate battery in our Z-3 is 7 years old. The one in the 325xi is 4 1/2 years old. Neither battery shows signs of croaking although the one in the Z may be the target of preventive replacement before the year is out. Both are on Battery Tender when they sit for more than a few days.
If you have the registration/coding covered then give Interstate a look.
