Wrong.

Many places to buy this battery.

Anyone with a BMW programmer (Autogenutiy, autologic, DIS/INPA/ect) can 'register' the battery.

Or you can skip registration, save $350 off the $500 you paid, and just replace the battery a bit sooner. At $350 savings, you can replace 3 batteries for every 'dealer sourced battery'!
