Not sure if theres a time stamp or anything on the battery but thats an original factory Battery. Mine died after 5 years(2005 X5) so i replaced it with a Die Hard. If you got electrical issues or worried about the battery its a pretty cheap fix 100bux max and you can def do it your self.

What year is your X5? Are you the original owner? As Yii pointed out, that is an OEM battery. If you are not the original owner of your X5 then my guess would be that it is the original battery, unless the prior owner(s) were suckers enough to buy a battery from the dealer.
I think you can get it load tested to see how well it's performing but if it's around 5 years old and/or you live in a hot climate, I would think about just replacing it. Hot weather kills batteries faster. You don't want to wait until it dies and your car won't start. (Ask me how I know.) There are numerous threads on batteries so do a search. There is even information on getting the exact same battery as OEM but without the BMW and BMW part number on it but substantial cheaper. A new battery should not cost you more than about $150. I have a Duralast from Autozone in my X5 and it was about $125. Car batteries are only manufactured by a handful of companies and rebranded for many others. Johnson Controls is the major one and they manufacture for many, many OEM "brands". Duralast is made by Johnson Controls.

Hi everyone. I am not the original owner. 2nd owner and the previous couple went to the stealer for everything, or at least from what I can gather from dealership print outs of previous maintenance and a short email dialog with the previous owners, and I am assuming this can NOT be the original given it is installed in a 2003 X5 3.0i with 47K miles. Manf Date of the car is 07/2003. Previous owners, and older couple, didn't recall if the battery had been replaced or not and said they followed the BMW MX Schedule. The car is perfect.
Would you agree that there would be very little chance that the original battery could last 8 years? I am assuming the first one was replaced near the 5 year mark maybe? So this one would have 3 years on it? Thanks Gregg
