vs
Battery Exide or OEM BMW
BMWs are super good on batteries. They seem to last 9 years or more even in the midwest with extreme cold.
Pros: super good, lasts 9+ years, performs in cold
Vehicle:
BMW

Pros: full ten years, long lasting
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 136794 km

low miles 10 yr old vehicle means its possible it has the original BMW factory installed battery. Some of those can last 10 years, I had a 2013 bmw 3 series and in 2022, I finally changed the original battery.
Pros: long lifespan
Vehicle:
BMW
The OEM battery is AGM. If it was an OEM battery it wouldn't be lead acid, at least here in the US. Not sure what you're talking about. I installed mine three years ago and have had no issues despite winters that range from below 0 to summers that reach 100. Fahrenheit obviously.
Pros: no issues for three years
Vehicle:
BMW
Got a new Exide battery at our expense outside. Car is fine ever since then.
Pros: car fine since then
Just replaced battery as EV had stopped working, and the battery dealer said it was. Good battery for hyrbids (Exide X40DPMF)
Pros: Good for hybrids
Part number: X40DPMF
I had 8 years on original battery on 2017 750i. I replaced it. It was barely holding 12V. Few functions were not working like stop/start and such.
Pros: 8 years longevity
Cons: barely holding 12V, functions not working
Vehicle:
BMW
However if you bought an Exide battery, 100% it's your issue: I have had three batteries replaced under warranty on my BMW until I said "basta" and bought a Yuasa out of pocket. The amount of weird issues those junky batteries caused was beyond belief.
Cons: weird issues, junky batteries
Vehicle:
BMW
The Exide extreme duty is showing signs of age, it's entirely possible I'll limp it through the next 4 weeks or so and it will get to next winter. It is a 4 litre NA diesel so start demands are pretty high when cold and with the glow plugs.
It 4 years old well past it's warranty period but frankly I'm a little disappointed with it, mainly as the battery is well over and above what the vehicle specifies, it gets regular two hour highway runs (twice a week) and very few short trips.
Cons: disappointed with it
