Duralast battery still recomended
In the past, per archives, Autozone Duralast batteries (with vent) have been highly recomended for our e-34s with the battery under the rear seat. Still the case or are there better options? My BMW battery is 6 years old and I am getting paranoid. TIA

I really like my Optima: sealed unit, superior performance, and light.

Optima, though calling them light is. Maybe a few pounds lighter than your typical pep boys battery but still heavy as hell. Great battery though (despite having two leak).
Granted, I'm an Oddessy user in my other car so that might explain my bias.

Yea duralasts are good. I bought one and my problems have been cured. Well, my car's problems, not my own...

I had an optima red top in my last car. Got in an accident where the whole front of the engine was smashed along with the battery, i got to pull my keys out of the car and what do you even though the battery was smashed everything still turned on.
Its funny, my cars totaled my hand is broken and then black Dahlia murder(heavy metal band) starts playing out of my car.
i recomend optima, its a beast of a batter obviously.

The Interstate battery in my car is going on 9 years old, and shows no sign of weakness.Originally Posted by Russell
Of course it will probably die very soon now for saying this
Seriously, I have had very good luck with this brand of battery over the years in many different cars.

How about some pricing data as well? This winter, she's starting to complain about the battery

interstate was OEM for BMW, very very good batteries.
im currently running a red top with the seat taken out, as the optima battery profile is too tall.
