I do agree that the factory battery is the best suited match for the car. But the battery is not $1000. I think it's around $300 ish if I'm not mistaken. And it's not hard to put in your self. Only thing needed is the battery reset afterwards which the dealer will usually bend you over hand over heels for.

Sorry for any confusion... he said the job was around 1000. He wasn't referring to just the battery.

He told his boss he ran the tests 3 times and said the customer still complained of a weak battery. I guess it's worked a few times for other customers. He mainly told me that if they weren't driven enough, BMW wasn't responsible for the battery.
