I'm on the same track: 3.0 '01 delivered 9-'01, build 8-'01...
I suspect the clock is ticking for both of us. I cannot locate a non-oem batt. anywhere in my area, however. The stlr's oem replacement, for $200+ would be my last pick.

I bought one at Sears for around $130. Its good to replace them every 3 - 4 years.

think about the cost/benefit
most batteries last 4 or 5 years. sure i've had batteries that last longer. but they don't always show signs of age until they croak for good. My '02 3.0 died last year at just 4 years of age.
My point is that you can change it now under controlled circumstances or risk getting stuck. Then you have to call AAA or get a jump and you're wasting time that is probably worth way more than the little bit more use you get by keeping it.

I just replaced my failed OEM (X5 4.4I built April 2001) battery on 06/09/07 with an NTB (National Tire & Battery) Exide battery. Cost was $130.99 but because they had just "dinged" one of my rear wheels while installing new Diamaris tires they sold me the battery at half price so I got the battery for $70.37 tax in.

There are lots of non-oem battery options out there.
I paid $66 for a battery for my 4.4l at Sam's Club. Fit perfectly. http://www.xoutpost.com/x5-e53-forum/...s+club+battery

The 4.4 batt is a group 49...there are several brands of that
group on the mkt.; the tough find for me, here in western NC, is the group 94 batt. for the 3.0.
