Battery OEM BMW or OEM Subaru

I just replaced both batteries in my 2018 740iX. Was original battery (build date was Aug 2017) so actually lasted 8 years which was surprising given other problems I had with the car!

I still have the original BMW battery on my 2005 e46 325i , I used a battery tester on it and still say it’s good

Everyone likes to shit on BMW for being too complicated when it comes to having to register batteries with the car, but this is the result. Batteries in other cars die way more quickly.

I just changed my 2018 F36’s battery a few months ago. They really do last a long time.

2016 328i. Original battery still alive and kicking!

Not going to say yes or no,but get a battery check before buying it ???? Bmw warranty covers the battery up 6year or 100.000km,so no more battery warranty.. It has 6 modules to replace(not 1 battery) and last time i checked it was around 1000 per piece without labour. My 2020 330e with 98000km had this check and it was at 84% state of health,so this one might not be looking so great.. but get it checked anyway

Our ‘17 Outback went through 4 batteries in the 7 years we owned it.

I bought a brand new '24 Outback Wilderness in August of 2023 and had to replace the battery within 18 months.

I’m on my third battery in my 2018

My battery died on my ‘15 Outback within a year of my buying the car brand new off the lot. I noticed some issues with the lift gate and the car was having problems starting at times. It was a bad cell in the battery so it needed to be replaced.
