Yes you can... just match which side your terminals are... you know... positive on the right side... and that's all you have to match on the optima... pricy battery though...otherwise a good one.

Somebody did... I don't think he post on this site... I remember about this... He bought a returned unit for dirt cheap... like $65... and he put it in his car. Because the battery can be put in any direction... it is possible to fit it. I remember that guy put it in sideway.

Orange top is right. I don't have one in my E34's but I do have it in my E30 M3. I had to do a bit of modification to the tie down but it works perfect. It even passes tech for drivers schools and autoxing.
