Varta H15 battery - Excellent value, high quality
This is an OEM-quality battery. The H15 specifications matched the original 10-year-old battery on my 2012 X5 diesel exactly. It was vented on both ends and came with a vent plug attached to one of the terminal covers.
The dealer wanted $770 for the BMW-branded battery and I would have to collect it myself. I instead purchased the Varta H15 from a large online battery retailer via eBay which saved me almost $200. The battery reached me within 1 day and was only about 6 weeks old with an almost full charge.
Overall very satisfied and I will repeat the process with a G14 for my 3 series when the time comes.
