True. Must be BMW's desperate bid to lower CO² emissions and fuel consumption numbers.

Can you post the name, model, specs and photo of this battery?

The battery that i had put in, is way better then what BMW had in a first place, it's a known brand and it has won the award at the battery show in moscow 2010...the reason i'am saying this is because, when i bought my X and had it shipped from USA, i got the car history report and there was 3 different times that dealer had changed the car battery, so you would think BMW would get it right after 3 tries, but noooo, as i said before i used to get dead battery 3-4 times a month, so i guess these BMW batteries are not strong enough to withstand all the electronics that this new X has.

Weasels input would be nice about this, i'm sure he has spoken houndred times about this issue on this forum, but he could just tell us why BMW batteries can not deal with the X's electronics...
