Which cars are affected
Prices found for F30/F10 era and newer BMWs (335i, F10 5 Series, X7). Registration applies to BMWs with an intelligent battery sensor (E65/E90 era onward).
E90 3 Series 2006–2013 E70 X5 2007–2013 F10 5 Series 2011–2016 F15 X5 2014–2018 F25 X3 2011–2017 F30 3 Series 2012–2019 F32 4 Series 2014–2020 G01 X3 2018–2024 G05 X5 2019–present G20 3 Series 2019–present G30 5 Series 2017–2023
Prices include the battery, fitting and registration unless noted. Some owners register the battery themselves with a phone app; BimmerLink's official site lists battery registration among its features (bimmerlink.app). Registration tells the car a new battery was fitted so it can adapt charging; a battery of a different type (AGM or flooded) or capacity also has to be coded. Quotes that leave out registration or installation are shown but kept out of the range.
