Z4M E86 Battery Part #
So a year ago I changed my battery from an aftermarket back to OEM. I have been having battery problems so I am trying to get a new one under warranty. The BMW parts guy asked me which battery I have (1 of 2) saying he doesn't know which battery I need without looking at the old one. I then asked why a year ago they just gave me a battery without asking. The parts guy claims there is no way to tell what I originally had even with my VIN and production month.
BTW my E86 production is 7/2007. Any ideas? Anyone else have one? Marvin |

"If the vehicle is equipped with an IBS
(Intelligent Battery Sensor), the battery must be registered via the diagnostic system (ISTA); this process also registers the battery with the vehicle's on-board electrical system." I just read this....do our cars have IBS? This is getting more complicated |

No, they don't need to be registered. From what I've seen posted, as well as personal experience, there is a longer battery (Group 48/H6) and a shorter battery (Group 47/H5) that were used in these cars.
The group 47/H5 is 9 9/16 long, the 48/H6 is 11 inches long. The height (7.5) and width (6 7/8) are the same. These are available in both flooded lead acid, and AGM. |
