I was coming up to 7 years on our X3 battery, and so changed it a month or so back, just so that the replacement happened where and when I chose instead of on the side of the road or on a long trip.
I think of it this way: I am unlikely to own the vehicle for another 7 years, it will be gone before then. I may as well have the benefit of a new battery now instead of just giving it to the next owner.
