BMW Seattle is about $300 for battery not including taxes (not include install, which I will do myself), and BMW Bellevue wants over $300 for same.
My part number is 61216946334. New part number that replaces old one is 61217586962. I see in the general forum most people are getting these from their dealers around the country at about $180-200 (Tischer sells them for about $180 but won't ship), yet our local dealers want $300+!!!
I don't want to code for a new battery (but will register it myself), so I don't want to make this thread about coding/not coding/registering/not registering, but am looking to see if someone knows where I can get an OEM (or exact spec aftermarket) battery. I have checked far and wide over a ton of forums and most batteries from Autozone, NAPA, WalMart, etc. don't have the exact spec of OEM even though they list as compatible with our cars.
Any help? Thanks!
