Put one in my X few months ago. I thought the AGM was the standard battery for them so not sure why it would be an issue.

I bought this Duracell H8 AGM battery several months ago and it is doing very well. I have no issues and all appears to be working well.
I would have a hard time believing that AGM manufacturers would bring a product to market that was not compatible with the vast majority of in service alternators that more than likely were in service long before the AGM technology emerged. https://www.samsclub.com/sams/auto-g...lp:product:1:1 Specifications: 20 amp hour rate:92 Battery electrolyte composition: Glass Mat Battery end type: Top post Battery purpose: Starting lighting instrumentation BCI group size: 49 CA at 32 degrees F: 975 CCA at 0 degrees F: 850 DIN code:H8/L5 Freight class: 65 Polarity: Right positive Reserve capacity: 170 Terminal typeIN Volts: 12 Mike

Been using the Deka 9AGM49 or 9AGM94R for at least 10 years in an E53 and E46. No issues at all.

That good enough proof for me fella that agms are ok in older X5s without the start stop system, another quick question the agms i find out here all refer to start stop battery , would this be an issue or is it safe to assume start/stop=agm battery?

I spent 9mos working in Europe a while ago; my E46 fired right up when I returned.

Whatever brand and species of batt that you get, I rec'd putting it on a low amp 'maintenance' type charger before install...
Even here in the US, batts sit on shelves for awhile, and in your location they may have been sitting longer. A nice slow low amp charge to bring that new batt up to full tilt boogie is better than a new batt off the shelf, installed and driven away, in my experience. GL, mD
