Mine just died.
Has anyone purchased an aftermarket battery for their E60? What brand and part number did you buy? I heard something about a vent tube.

My Ride: 07 BMW 525i Premium Package, Xenon Lighting Package, manual Transmission. Titanium Grey, 20% Tint around the back, 70% V-Kool on front.
Planned mods: Style 71 wheels with Toyo Proxy 4 tires, Sachs suspension upgrade, upgraded stereo, and many more to come.
i bought one for my x5 recently from auto zone, cost me $140...
there's a vent tube that should fit right in to the new battery
it's a little plastic tube that's like .5 cm in diameter
i would think if the battery is made for a specific car model it will have the vent hole in the battery
but then the x5 battery is kind of a long shape and different from our e60...
you probably figure it out but the battery is on the right rear and you have to unscrew the plastic bolt to remove the trim
