X5 4.8is Battery Dimension
 

Hi all,

I've been searching the forum trying to get the dimensions for the battery of a 4.8is but couldn't find any info. Can anyone tell me what the dimensions are? I need to find a replacement battery here in Manila, Philippines. I am expecting the car to arrive this weekend (from Los angeles) and it has been in transit for more than a month so I'm sure I'll need a new battery.

Thanks,
Philip

I believe the batteries for the X5s, is either a T8 or H8 DIN size. In terms of dimensions, I believe it is:

Length 13 16/15"
Width 6 15/16"
Height 7 1/2"
Height 6 7/8" (T8)
I would double check with your local BMW dealer or any dealer of car batteries. THe only physical difference between the H8 and T8 is that the H8 is taller.

Thanks! The local alternative batteries in my part of the worldd should fit then.

Phil, I thought importing used BMWs to the Philippine is banned?

Yes, it is banned. Mine got in through an international organization based in Manila with valid tax exemption.
