If I were you I would get a 12W6 or ID 12 as they are better suited for small sealed enclosures and you will likely not harvest the full potential of the W7 in that enclosure and with "only" 600W. Also, with the W6 you can go 2ohm and get another 200-300W out of the amp. 870W sounds about right power-wise for a W6 in a small enclosure.

As far as which side, I'm not sure but the battery side may have more depth as you can remove the battery tray cover completely and let the whole box sit in its place. VP did this for e92s, but never for e90s. Not sure why. From what I've seen though it seems difficult to get more than 1 cu ft without the box protruding too much into the trunk, to the point of being ugly and impractical..
