proper oem battery... AGM or regular?
hey guys,
Tried to charge my '07 MZ battery today after its been stored in the cold winter for about a month and a half... battery is having hard time accepting charge... So i took the part # from the battery which was: 61217553951. This number doesn't come up anywhere for a MZ at realoem.com. Does everyone else have this type of battery? And is it an AGM or regular lead-acid battery? Thanks! (It doesn't say AGM on it but the link in realoem.com says "AGM Battery".) http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...99&hg=61&fg=30 |

^why not pick up a battery from the mini dealers. Its the same battery they use in the CSL and will save u some weight and shouldnt cost as much as a bmw one.
Or just go to a auto shop they have guides, lists ect

Get the mini cooper battery like The__J__Factor said. Cheaper and lighter. Many people on the E46M forum have gotten it. Simple plug and play and no extra bracket needed.

P/n 61 21 6 924 021, $198 Msrp
FYI all 2007 and 2008 E86 Z4M Coupes are outfitted with a sealed Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid (VRLA) Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) battery: http://www.remybattery.com/sla_gellcell_maintenance.pdf
The OE battery available in the US is made by Exide under BMW P/N 61 21 6 924 021 with an MSRP of $198.00. An acceptable 70Ah Deka 9AGM48 substitute is available from East Penn Manufacturing http://www.eastpenn-deka.com/ I would think with your Coupe still being under manufacturer’s warranty that the battery should be covered.
