I just replaced both batteries in my 2018 740iX. Was original battery (build date was Aug 2017) so actually lasted 8 years which was surprising given other problems I had with the car!
Pros: lasted 8 years, surprising longevity
Vehicle:
BMW
I still have the original BMW battery on my 2005 e46 325i , I used a battery tester on it and still say it’s good
Pros: long lasting, still good
Vehicle:
BMW
Everyone likes to shit on BMW for being too complicated when it comes to having to register batteries with the car, but this is the result. Batteries in other cars die way more quickly.
Pros: last longer than others
Vehicle:
BMW
I just changed my 2018 F36’s battery a few months ago. They really do last a long time.

Not going to say yes or no,but get a battery check before buying it ???? Bmw warranty covers the battery up 6year or 100.000km,so no more battery warranty.. It has 6 modules to replace(not 1 battery) and last time i checked it was around 1000 per piece without labour. My 2020 330e with 98000km had this check and it was at 84% state of health,so this one might not be looking so great.. but get it checked anyway
Pros: battery check recommended
Cons: no battery warranty, costly module replacement
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 98000 km

My battery died on my ‘15 Outback within a year of my buying the car brand new off the lot. I noticed some issues with the lift gate and the car was having problems starting at times. It was a bad cell in the battery so it needed to be replaced.
Cons: died within a year, bad cell
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
