Which battery to choose
      Remember to plug the vent hole on the negative terminal side of the battery and connect the vent hose to the positive side.

Nice. The only way I would replace an OEM battery with an OEM battery is if it's under warranty. Otherwise, it's just dumb when you can find non-BMW branded equivalent batteries for a fraction of the cost.

I've been looking into batteries lately too and what I'm about to do is replace my battery with a monster, take that battery compartment right out all together and secure the new battery where my jack is/was. I can't get over how much power this vehicle consumes. I've gotta plug it in and charge it once every couple weeks since I don't drive far enough to the office everyday to keep it charged up. BMW's official solution for me was to buy a trickle charger. Does this sound normal??
I had three heated seats on at once with the heater going and the computer kicked the vehicle into safe/limp mode because I stepped on the gas to pass someone on the highway. My battery light keeps coming on also. What's up with this?

Yeah, I put in a $90 bat from the 'zone a coupla years ago. I clipped a motorcycle battery to the car during the change-over to keep any settings that might become lost. (radio, equalizer, etc.)
My challenge is a 2 minute daily commute which means I gotta find the time to go further or sometimes I'll put a charger on during the weekend if I'm too busy to go anywhere just to drive.
