Yes and I wonder how many more will be needed because I replaced the battery once already when it was under the original warranty.

The 'need to register' is determined by the CAR, and not the battery!!! |

If you want something that will last I would get an AGM battery. I was lucky enough to get this type of battery under warranty. Since the AGM battery have had zero problems with low battery warning I was getting before. Anyway, I digress.
I would recommend - AGM as above - if you don't want to lose any settings then connect a battery charger but leave it on supply mode. - you have the cable necessary to code the battery. Look up b m w coding dot com site where it will explain how to code the battery. The software is all free.

the guy got the battery for free at pepboys since they messed up his car and I just sent him dealer to register and code the new battery,
I would have replaced the battery with exact same one to avoid this
