Dealer battery change
I'm due for a service and a couple of warranty issues to be sorted this month and the battery needs changing, how much should I expect to be stung at a dealer for a battery change? I'd like to be forearmed as to what is a reasonable non-dealer price to compare with the dealer price to save the hassle of taking it into two different places. Its an e91 335i non agm

If it's a non-AGM, I don't think you have to register the battery.
Ensure you match the Ah & CCA ratings of your original battery.

Yes you do need to register it. The charge cycle compensates as the battery becomes weaker with time. The car needs to know a new battery is fitted so it can be charged correctly.
I had my battery replaced a little while ago, £80 for the battery & £40 for my indie to fit & code it.

As the battery gets weaker the car eventually starts to switch things off heated rear window, sideclights no longer come on when locking/unlocking the car & you get a few other little 'glitches'.

funny you should mention that, my rear demise didn't come on on tuesday morning and the sidelights tonight. Anyone know of a decent Indy near to Crewe? BMW want £270 for battery change.

Other option is fit yourself, and ask around on here if someone local to you can register the battery?

You could always buy it from halfords, they would fit & register it, a YUASA for mine was around a £110 & registering is £40 or so if I remember correctly. As I said my indie charged me £40 & they got me a EXIDE battery for £80
