Z4 3.0 battery?

[Road2Ruin]

Hi Chaps,

The battery on my 2005 3.0 Z4 is dead. It is the original so I can't complain. What is the general census of opinion go for the oem part ot get another make. Also what is the score with the vent tube, do most other makes have the whole.

went for a bosch (i think it was an S1 or soemthing) on my M3, the vent tube will fit.

i think there's a mini battery that'll fit if losing weight is desired.

As above, Bosch S3,4 or 5 depending on how long you're planning on keeping the car.

Try Euro Car Part or Car Parts 4 less for prices.

Many thanks the bosch S5 was the one I was looking at I was just worried about the vent tube fitting it.

Ta very much.

I started a thread about replacing the battery in my E46 coupe the other day:

Guess the Z4 is similar. If it is, then yes, the vent tube fits fine on the Bosch battery. Don't forget to block the hole at the opposite end of the battery (you get a "stopper" attached to one of the terminal covers on the new battery).

Someone posted that the discount code "battery15" gets you 15% off batteries at Euro Car Parts.

Hope this helps!
