New Battery?

M3 Number 86 · 09-18-2018, 06:57 PM

This battery thing is confusing me. It's been throwing the low warning for a while now once I shut the car off. I was wondering why my angel eyes weren't turning on when I approached and unlocked the car but I just learned that's what the battery does, shut down some things since it's low. I just had a misfire and was wondering if this was part of it as well so looking to get a new battery.

What are the specs of the aftermarket batteries you guys have bought?

I'm gonna get an h6 or group 48 battery. Basically a z4m battery.

Zpost has a great google spreadsheet on it.
