In trying to keep full records of my repairs I
have to document the easy and difficult repairs, right! This might
come in handy for a n00b, but most of you seasoned individuals could
do this blind folded. Note: I didn’t say with one hand tied behind
your back, why? because these batteries are HEAVY.
Scenario, car sat for a couple days, then I
started messing around with some electrical stuff and this killed my
battery. I recharged it at a slow pace but it just wouldn’t hold a
charge, so a new battery was needed. The battery I am replacing was
just about 4 years old, so I feel I got some good life out of it
given the electrical gadgets I have installed in the car.
I opted for the BMW branded battery which was
list $180, but $161 with my BMWCCA discount. So basically, less
core and discount, my total out the door with tax was $173.23 for a
battery part number 61 21 6 901 815. The “werker” brand at batteries
plus was $159 + tax.....
Not much needed,
20 minutes or so, 10mm wrench or socket and you’re ready to go.
