Most dealers in my area will not register a battery they did not install. A lot of independents now have the capability to register for you so that's another option.
If you replace like for like and you don't have any issues, I wouldn't bother registering the battery.
I have experience with a non-AGM battery in an E60 and it has been over 18 months with no issues. I bought an Autozone battery for less than $100 and swapped it out.
