Yup. Almost 13yrs since my X5 was built in 5/2000.
I bought the replacement battery from Advanced Auto using $40 off coupons online. It cost $122.99 after tax. Most of these battery are made from the same manufacture anyway so the cheaper the better.
The replacement is shorter in length, which makes me worry about it not sitting secured in the car. Turn out BMW kinda anticipated this and have a pre-made spot for the battery tie-down to secure the shorter one.
