Great result and respects to the Mak.

Just a few questions though, when I had my battery replaced last year the service advisor told me that the battery needed to be coded and that you could only use BMW batteries. Now the second bit was probably rubbish but the first bit sounds like it has some truth to it, judging by this thread.

Luckily I didn't have to pay for the battery as it was covered under warranty and it's £250 but I've heard people use other batteries in the car (not surprised considering the OE price) so how exactly do they get those no OE batteries coded?
