Beta Testers: Are you still on your stock battery?

HRC · 07-02-2009, 02:03 AM

Hows your 2006 E9X holding up? I'm at 60K+ and some times I get a slow start.

bsamoul · 07-02-2009, 02:38 AM

One 325 is on stock battery (27k), the other 325 has been replaced at like 14k

HRC · 07-02-2009, 03:24 AM

Seems like I got a lot of use out of my battery...time to replace.

Danny

BK · 07-02-2009, 08:01 AM

40k miles, same battery, no issues.

txusa03 · 07-02-2009, 08:02 AM

replaced my bat at 68K miles.

Lobaeux · 07-02-2009, 08:34 AM

My battery was replaced at 3K miles. Apparently, it had a dead cell and wouldn't hold a charge. The replacement they put in at the dealer was checked and it was a bad battery as well, but luckily, they found that out before they gave the car back to me.

bernjee82 · 07-02-2009, 09:19 AM

still factory battery, @18k miles. Last batch of 330i to be produced for US.

RambleJ · 07-02-2009, 01:19 PM

Still running the stock battery @ 39,000

Vamshi · 07-02-2009, 01:27 PM

Stock battery @36K

MB330 · 07-02-2009, 02:57 PM

Battery was replaced after car refuse to start one day (11K)
30K now - no problem.

Tee-Dub · 07-02-2009, 04:05 PM

PO replaced it with an Interstate. Not sure why they didn't get it done under warranty with an OEM battery. My car has 50k miles.

ENINTY · 07-02-2009, 09:56 PM

My E90 is a April '06 build. Delivered on May 22, 2006. I'm at 85,000 miles. Still on the original battery. I also have a 1999 Ford F-150 with 93,000 miles still on the original Motorcraft battery (the battery out lasted the exhaust manifolds). And I have a 1999 Honda Valkyrie Interstate (motorcycle) with 55,000 miles still on the original battery (I keep it on a Tender in the winter).

I guess I have good battery karma...

LoCalM5 · 07-02-2009, 10:03 PM

Still have ours at 29K

magmd · 07-02-2009, 10:11 PM

August 2005 build. Still on stock battery @ 67500.

rotaryboy · 07-02-2009, 11:06 PM

51K stock batt but I think it's starting to crank a little slow.

Mine was also an 4/06 build, maybe my battery isn't as long lasting as I thought...

I only priced out one battery so far froma local speed shop, an Interstate I think for $150.00

Jurisprudent · 07-03-2009, 07:28 AM

31k miles, August '05 build 330 - same battery.

Richwm · 07-03-2009, 08:21 AM

E90 still has the original battery 111k miles, E46 died at 6 years and 130k miles.

Assuming you have a good battery to start with and you drive your car enough to keep it charged it should last at least 5 years here in Cali.

I am so glad to see you guys are still keeping your car way over the warranty period. I guess if you drive it alot, the battery will last longer.

80 thousand miles, original battery.....still going!
