My BMW/Douglas oem battery appears to be failing and needs to be replaced. What is the current thinking regarding the best battery for our cars. The archive recomendations appear to be a bit old. I have checked with Advance Auto parts and Autozone. They both appear to good buys for the proper vented battery for about $65 with 7 year warrenty. This compares to the dealer OEM/Douglas battery for $120.00 and 2 year warranty.

Are there other good choices? TIA
