E39 Battery size

[rodga]

Anybody know what the battery size is for the e39?
Need to replace mine and the PO used a slightly smaller size.
Would like to get the correct size replacement.

My 5er has a Midas battery in at the moment, PO put it in. No problems from it, but its about the size of my house :roflol:

5er uses 658 battery. Some companies make it in 90amp other in 100amp.

Bmw oem 90amp is R2027 if you bring the old battery.

i got it from a willard dealer,

he wouldn't let me put a willard in because nothing much the oem one hence i got that and it was cheaper than what his own brand suggest.

i purchased it 19 months ago lol

Check out Duratec Batteries. Way cheaper than Willard and have EXCELLENT performance. Have been using them for years in my business as I buy batteries often.

24 month warranty too.

657 is far too small to carry the electronics of a 5er easily.

Then again, the 658 holds up damn well. In almost 3 years my battery has never failed me, and I can be pretty abusive of the electronics when the car is off, for 5 to 6 hours at a time.

Got a 658 Duratec 100ah and 850cca iirc
Much better specs than the one it replaced.
Usually would have gone for a known brand, wanted to get a varta but the pricing almost R1000 more
Duratec was R1450
