This is my 5th year with my OEM battery, so I am SO glad to have both CPO and Maint warranty - it should be covered right?
cpo wont cover the battery but you can be like me and throw a bitch fit and they will eventually cover it lol

really? BMW was charging me about $450 for the battery. I got the aftermarket one for $170. Go figure 
my dads a mechanic n he ordered an oem battery straight from the dealers for me, just recently too, for $150 with his discount, without it they would have charged 180... maybe ur dealer charged 450 with installation, we have a guy that comes and does the resets without the dealer prices and my dad did the installation himself (always a bonus when you don't have warranty 
)
