    Battery Replacement

    Hi,

    I own an e46 2006 325ci. Lately I have noticed that over night, or when I haven't started my car in a while it takes about 5 seconds or more to start, meaning I need a new battery. I had a specialist look at it and they mentioned that they would need to install it because they will need to program the battery. After looking into this, I've seen some BMWs not require this. Would this be something I would have to get done or can I just purchase a new battery and install like any other car?

    Thank you so much for any advice!

    The E46 does not have to have a new battery registered with the charging system. Got to Walmart and buy the appropriate battery. Make sure you hook up the vent tube.
