Which battery are you using to replace oem? I've read about the 49dl which requires some modification and is not direct drop in. I've also read of a 94r that might be an easier drop in. What's your experience?

I just put an Autozone H7 AGM into my car. Living in the extreme desert climate that is the Sonoran desert, an AGM battery is almost a must. Not cheap - $189 - but has a 36-month full replacement warranty, and AGM batteries do much better in our extreme heat.

Good thread since I may be looking to replace my battery sometime in the near future.
Good info here as well.

I've got a 94R in mine. Fit great and works fine. Although, my tech at the indy shop I take my car to when I have a problem I can't solve said he would recommend installing a BMW OEM battery. Maybe I will when this duralast conks out, but until then, I'm not too worried.
