E46 M3 Vert Battery

[Blaino]

Hi Guys

Need some advise that I couldnt pick up on forum searches.

What amp 668 battery is required on an e46 m3 vert?

Also pro's cons of the following batteries?

1. Bmw R2800
2. Sabat R1600
3. No name R1280

All the above batteries comes with a 2 year warranty.
.
Due to lack of time, the car has sadly become a garage queen and probably gets driven for a very short distance every 6 weeks.

whatever battery you decide on maybe invest on a battery charger/conditioner as well
I use an optimate, comes with quickrelease plugs that you can fit directly to the battery as well as optional 12v socket charger

Alternative is to fit a battery kill switch on the negative terminal in the boot. Shut the battery off and it will last a very long time, no chargers necessary.
