[Grail05]

Hey Guys,

i just wanted to confirm

I called a dealer and asked about a replacement for battery and had quoted me

Dealer had asked me that i need to look the battery part # of my battery.

then asked me what Amperage do i want or need?

HELP?
i have search this forum and read every thread and have not seen one about different part #? on e9x m3...

Using realoem.com these are the batteries they have listed for a 2008 M3. Basically you need to check the AH rating and CCA of your existing battery so you can get the same one. Don't forget to register the new one. Hope this helps.

Yes- black is AGM, white is SLA. If you have an OEM SLA battery you can change to an AGM, it just requires registering/coding it as one. 2008 might be SLA.

As per realoem- "Important notice!
----------------------------------------
Compliance with the following
information and instructions for correct
battery replacement is absolutely
mandatory!
- ISTA Document
RA_61_20_Instructions_for_battery_
replacement
----------------------------------------
For additional information, see:
- Battery master document
ISTA_Document_SI_61_07_02_(875)
----------------------------------------
The original battery (battery size and
type) as indicated in the vehicle's
order specifications must always be
installed to ensure correct operation of
the on-board electrical system!
----------------------------------------
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.
----------------------------------------
Standard batteries can always be
replaced by AGM batteries with the same
specifications.
Following either type of replacement,
the vehicle registration process in
ISTA/P must be supplemented by a vehicle
coding procedure, which is carried out
as follows:
----------------------------------------
Read out battery size and registration
from onboard electrical system:
ISTA->Service functions->Body->Voltage
supply->Register_battery replacement->
Test plan"
