Good question. I've got a similar aged battery. Just got home from a 2 week vacation and it was completely drained (2nd time, also happened in 2005).
I charged it up and it's running fine. I feel like I'm running on borrowed time.

Most OEM batteries seem to die within a few years. My'01 is on the third (at least) as the battery I pulled was a VW battery the dealer "missed" while doing the CPO.
Exide replacement has a much better expected life.

You're on the outward perimeter, I suspect...
my '01, 8-'01 build, is also still on the orig., but I think that when I get home for the season, it will be close to being "done". I have mine on slow trickle, stored for the winter, but one of my first things to do, will be to get a new one. 5+ years is a helluva run and it's probably time for yours and, mine. GL,mD

BMW batteries = Poo Poo.
I told the dealer today I thought the 545's seemed week. Turns out it was low on juice from sitting for 3 weeks at the dealer.

 Any flickering lights or weird electrical changes? Quote:

No, I just have a 6th sense when it comes to automobiles, maybe because I go through them like candy. It just didn't sound right starting up so I had the dealer check it.

I will definetely get a new one, mine was as old as yours, I knew it was on borrowed time and I procrastinated to change it, finally it failed to start the car one cold day and I ended up havind to call AAA and ended up being late for work.
Btw, don't get it from the dealer, too expensive.
