you sure can. Autozone has a direct replacement. Get the GOLD battery and compare the Ah & CCA numbers to the new battery. I did this and have had no problems. Dealer cost was $650.00 !!!! If you get a battery with different numbers you may need to program it to the car, otherwise a simple registration should do ya. Some register and some don't, an Indy shop is cheapest.
Based on the Autozone Battery receiving a "good" overall rating recently from that leading consumer reporting magazine http://db.tt/iB4IM4jE , availability, and price I bought the GOLD replacement for one of my cars. And for Autozone you can shop on-line, pick up at a local store, grab some extra discount coupons AND earn an extra 5% rebate by shopping through the link in my signature. By doing that I recently bought a replacement "GOLD" battery for one of my cars for a total savings of almost $30! Some of the the Wal-Mart EverStart batteries are also popular replacement batteries at a very low price.
Remember, it's not how much money you have / make ... it's how you spend it!!

Was up everyone one,
Just recently for the past week, My traction and brake light have been coming on at the same time. The traction message is reading, Driving Stability. Reduced driving stability in curves. Drive moderately!
The brake message reads, Start-Off assistance. Start-off assistance inactive Caution, vehicle may roll back!
Anyone have any ideas of what this could be? Is a big issue or just a minor problem.
Thanks for everyone's help and info.

I had those errors a few months ago. It was the steering angle sensor. BMW replaced the sensor and the problem went away. You will also notice the blinker does not stop blinking when you complete a turn....have to turn it off manually. If you are under warranty take it to BMW. Otherwise you are looking at a $500 part+labor (programming) repair.
How many miles are you at? This error occurred for me at 45k miles.
I looked at my repair sheet and this is the sensor, SZL, that was replaced. # 61-31-9-111-997.

I looked at the battery and the green dot is in the center so I am going to have the people who put the springs in check and see if they somehow left the sensors unplugged or they were loose and came unhooked? If that doesn't work I will try the battery.
Thanks all I will keep you posted

Update.... I took the car back to the people who installed my springs and shocks due to a squeak and low and behold the ABS Sensor wire was rubbing against the tire and was completely in two pieces. Good news for me as I don't have to spend any more money.
Thanks
Thanks
