Preferred battery type of BMWs?
Folks,
The original battery (4+ years old) in my 00 M5 is going to quit any day now, and I would like to pre-emptively replace it. I understand Douglas Battery makes BMW's batteries, and since the E39 M5 has a wierd placement (in the trunk, in the middle between the two exhaust pipes) I probably need to stick as close to the original as I can.
Does anyone know of a seller of either Douglas batteries in the MD/NoVA area? Or am I being a ninnie, and any maker of the right battery form-factor and amperage will do.
Thanks in advance

Bit the bullet - so far, so good.
I found a Batteries Plus store in Rockville (the closest I could find to Baltimore) and went and got the replacement. You were right, its' made by Douglas. It's identical to the original (even down to the goofy white case!) and plugged right in.
Thanks to all!
