Looking for recommendations of which battery to go for, for my 2011 730D



It doesn't have start/stop; but think the one fitted is an AGM battery



Do I need an AGM battery; if so, what's a good one to go for that's not going to require me selling my kidneys and if not; which non-AGM battery is a good one to go for (typically I've always stuck with Bosch & Yuasa in my previous E39s etc)



Cheers

You'll need to stick with AGM, speak to BMW dealer, last time I had a price from them, earlier on this year, there weren't silly money compared to others.

No thanks; over £300!

I suspect if you stick to the usual brands you won't have any issues: Bosch, Yuasa & Exide.

Thinking that too.

Found the right AGM Exide battery on eBay, £140 delivered and my Carly for BMW app can code it... That'll do me!
